The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this morning’s ballistic missile attack on southern Israel.
In a statement, the Iran-backed group claims to have targeted a “sensitive Israeli enemy target” in Beersheba, where sirens had sounded.
“The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks be to Allah,” the Houthis say.
The IDF said the missile was “likely” intercepted. There were no reports of impacts.
