The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for the overnight ballistic missile launch at Israel, claiming to have targeted the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel.

The Houthis claim that the “missile successfully hit its target.”

According to the Israel Defense Forces, the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses.

In the past month, the Houthis have fired 10 ballistic missiles and at least nine drones at Israel, in what the Iran-backed terror group says is support for the Gaza Strip amid the war there.
