The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for last night’s ballistic missile launch at Israel, claiming to have targeted the Orot Rabin power plant near Hadera.
It would mark the deepest claimed strike in Israel by the Houthis. Previous attacks by the Houthis have targeted the Tel Aviv area and southern Israel.
The IDF said the missile was successfully intercepted before crossing the country’s borders.
The Iran-backed terror group claims that “the operation successfully achieved its objectives.”
There were no reports of impacts in Israel.
