Houti missile targets Israel Opera

Houti missile targets Israel Opera

From a correspondent in Tel Aviv:

Last night’s performance of Turandot at the Israeli Opera had an uncalled-for break as a Houti missile from the Yemen was heading to Tel Aviv. While Ping Pang and Pong were on stage a voice asked conductor Dan Ettinger to stop the performance. The missile was shot down. As the opera house is a ‘protected space’ according to Home Front Command regulations, the audience was asked to remain seated. About ten minutes later the performance went on.
