The Popular Resistance Committees, a coalition of armed Palestinian groups operating in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, lauded the Yemeni rebels' successful missile strike on Tel Aviv. The group stated the attack highlighted Israel's "inability to confront Yemeni missiles" and exposed the "fragility of its security and military system."

In a statement on Telegram, the committees emphasized that the strike showcased the resolve of the Yemeni people and their leadership to intensify support for Gaza.

"The continuation and escalation of the Yemeni support front disrupts the Zionists' calculations and shatters the illusion of their claimed achievements," the statement added.

Israel's military acknowledged that its air defense systems failed to intercept a projectile launched from Yemen early Saturday, which struck Tel Aviv. The national medical service reported 16 individuals sustained light injuries.
