The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this morning’s ballistic missile launch at Israel.
In a statement, the group claims to have targeted the IDF’s Nahal Sorek base in central Israel.
The base is located approximately halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It is home to the army’s Ammunition Center, which is responsible for purchasing, collecting, storing, fixing and supplying weaponry, including everything from simple bullets to advanced missiles.
The IDF says the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses.
