Houthis and Iraqi militia claim joint strike on Haifa; no attack reported
Yemen’s Houthis say they and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq have conducted a joint operation attacking a vital target in the Israeli city of Haifa, though no such attack appears to have taken place.
The military operation has been carried out with “a number of winged missiles,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree says in a televised statement, without identifying the target.
There are no reports of attacks in or near Haifa or anywhere else in the country. The last air raid sirens sounded at 5 p.m. for a Hezbollah barrage aimed at the northern city of Kiryat Shmona. Earlier in the day, a drone alert sounded in the Golan Heights and the army said two UAVs were downed in southern Lebanon before reaching Israeli airspace.
The Houthis and Islamic Resistance in Iraq, both aligned with Iran, regularly make claims of attacks deemed overblown.
