The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this evening’s ballistic missile attack on Israel, claiming to have targeted “several sensitive targets” in the Jerusalem area using a projectile with a cluster bomb warhead.
According to the military, the missile was successfully intercepted. There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The Iran-backed Houthis have fired several missiles with cluster bomb warheads at Israel in recent weeks.
The terror group also claims to have launched three drones at Israel today, targeting Ramon Airport and “two vital targets” in the Eilat area.
The IDF reported shooting down one drone over southern Israel. The other two likely failed to reach the country.
