Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim an overnight missile attack on Israel, saying they had launched a “hypersonic ballistic missile” into “occupied Jaffa,” a reference to the Israeli commercial hub of Tel Aviv.
The IDF said it had attempted an interception of the missile that set off sirens in a large swath of central Israel.
The launch came on the heels of a Monday night attack in which a projectile fired from Yemen was intercepted “prior to crossing into Israeli territory,” according to the military.
The Houthi rebels also claim they had launched four drones at Israel.
They pledge to continue their operations until “the end of the aggression against the Palestinians.”
