The Houthis in Yemen claim to have launched four drones at Israel today.

In a statement, the Iran-backed terror group says it targeted a “military target” in the Tel Aviv area with two drones and a “vital target” near Ashkelon this afternoon, as well as another target near Tel Aviv this evening.

The IDF is unaware of any drones reaching Israel from Yemen today, and there have been no reports of impacts.

The Houthis also claim to have targeted the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman with several missiles in drones in the Red Sea.
