The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for an overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel, claiming to have targeted “several sensitive targets” in the Tel Aviv 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 two drones at Israel, targeting “two vital targets” in the Eilat area. There were no reports of Houthi drones reaching Israel in the past day, indicating that they likely fell short before reaching the country.
