The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for launching drones at Israel earlier today.

The IDF said earlier that the Air Force shot down one drone outside of Israeli airspace.

The Houthis claim to have launched two drones, at targets in Ashkelon and the Tel Aviv area. There were no reports of impacts in either city today.

The Iran-backed terror group in recent days has ramped up ballistic missile and drone attacks on Israel, in what it says is support for the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing war there.
