The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this morning’s ballistic missile attack on southern Israel.

In a statement, the Houthis claim to have targeted “sensitive Israeli military sites” with a “barrage of ballistic missiles.”

The IDF said one missile fired from Yemen was successfully shot down by air defenses.

The Houthis vow to continue their attacks “until the aggression against all fronts of the resistance ceases.”
