Tel Aviv/Sanna, Sept. 13 -- The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Saturday reportedly downed a ballistic missile from Yemen headed for Tel Aviv. The Sanna-based Houthis have taken responsibility for the attack and said that it was a cluster explosive equipped warhead directed at "sensitive targets" in the city.
