Houthis claim overnight missile had cluster bomb warhead, was targeting ‘sensitive’ Tel Aviv targets

The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for the overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel, claiming to have targeted “several sensitive targets” in Tel Aviv using a projectile with a cluster bomb warhead.

According to the military, the missile was successfully intercepted.

There is no comment from the IDF on the claim that the projectile was fitted with a cluster bomb warhead.

There were no reports of injuries or damage, but the attack triggered sirens at around 3:45 a.m. in Tel Aviv and a large number of towns and communities in central Israel.

The Iran-backed Houthis have fired several missiles with cluster bomb warheads at Israel in recent weeks.
