The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen claimed to have launched several drones at Israel today.
In a statement, the terror group says it targeted “military and vital targets” in the Tel Aviv and Ashkelon area with several drones.
This morning, the IDF said it downed a drone launched at Israel “from the east” — thought to be from Iraq — near Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv.
The military is unaware of any drones launched from Yemen that reached Israel today.
