The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this evening’s ballistic missile launch at Israel.

In a statement, the Houthis claim to have targeted Ben Gurion Airport and “vital military targets” in southern Israel with a ballistic missile and several drones.

The IDF said one missile fired from Yemen at Israel fell in an open area, causing no injuries or damage.
