Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for a missile attack in central Israel on Saturday, after the Israeli military acknowledged failing to intercept a projectile that hit Tel Aviv.

In a statement, the Houthis said they had "targeted a military target of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of" Tel Aviv using a ballistic missile. Israeli rescuers earlier reported 16 wounded in the attack.
