By bnm Gulf bureau Mossad Director David Barnea has recommended Israel launch direct strikes against Iran in response to a Houthi missile attack that hit Tel Aviv, senior security sources told Channel 13 on December 22.

The rebels have repeatedly launched missiles against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians since the war in Gaza began more than a year ago. Most of them have been intercepted.

More than a dozen Israelis were wounded after Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile at the Jewish state – marking the second attack from the Iran-backed terror group this week, according to the Israeli Defense Force.
