On December 21, it was reported that Yemen launched a strike on Tel Aviv that injured 30 people. The IDF launched an investigation into the reasons for the failure to intercept a rocket launched from Yemen.
Prior to that, on December 19, Yahya Sari, a military spokesman for Yemen's Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement, said that the missile forces carried out a drone attack on a target located in Tel Aviv.
