The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this evening’s ballistic missile attack on Israel.
In a statement, the Hotuhis claim to have targeted “vital Israeli enemy targets” in the Tel Aviv area.
According to the IDF, one missile fired from Yemen, which triggered sirens in Jerusalem — not Tel Aviv — was intercepted.
There were no reports of injuries.
