Houthi missile fragment lands in backyard of Moshav Ginaton home

The military stated that the incident was under review and that several attempts were made to intercept the missile.

The Houthi missile fired from Yemen that triggered sirens across central Israel likely fragmented mid-air, the IDF said on Friday.

Magen David Adom said that there were reports of shrapnel impacting a house in Moshav Ginaton. Israeli media said the fragment landed in the house's backyard.

The owner of the yard impacted by the shrapnel, Ilana Hatomi, told Ynet that, "There was a boom. I was sitting in a shelter, everything exploded, and that was it.

"Everything can be fixed, everything can be fixed, it's just material damage."

Hatomi's daughter, Shira, described the incident as "a great stroke of luck.

"Fortunately, our mother heard the alarm and went into the emergency room. We talked while she was there, and she said there was a big boom. When she came out, she saw that the whole house was covered in glass," Shira told Ynet. "It's lucky that it fell close and not on the house. She said that the whole house shook, and as you can see, everything is shattered."

Booms reported as missile fragments above Israel

Loud booms were heard around Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan. The IDF said it made several attempts to intercept the missile.

No serious injuries have been reported at this time.

Earlier in the evening, the IDF also had to make several attempts to intercept a drone launched from Yemen, which triggered sirens in Israeli towns along the Egyptian border.
