Houthis claim early-morning missile attack
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack that triggered sirens in Jerusalem and parts of central Israel early this morning.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says the rebels targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv “using a hypersonic ballistic missile.” The Houthis are not known to possess hypersonic missiles.
The missile was shot down by the air force, the military said on Telegram.
