The Houthis in Yemen have taken responsibility for today’s missile and drone attacks on Israel.
In a statement, the Yemeni terror group says it launched a ballistic missile at a “sensitive Israeli military target” in Tel Aviv. According to the IDF, the missile was intercepted, and no damage or injuries were caused.
The Houthis also claim to have launched multiple drones at Israel today, with three aimed at targets in Eilat, and another aimed at a “sensitive target” in Beersheba.
One drone launched by the Houthis struck a hotel in Eilat, causing slight damage. The IDF reported shooting down one other drone, with the others likely falling short before reaching the country’s borders.
