The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for launching a drone at Israel this evening, claiming to have targeted a “military target” in the Tel Aviv area.
According to the IDF, the drone was intercepted by air defenses, in the Dead Sea area.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched at least 10 ballistic missiles at Israel.
The Houthis also claim to have shot down an American reconnaissance drone over Yemen today.
