Houthis say they fired missiles at Eilat, targeted a tanker in the Red Sea
Yemen’s Houthis say they targeted a tanker, the Mado, in the Red Sea with naval missiles and the Eilat region with winged missiles.
The claim is made by military spokesman Yahya Saree.
Yesterday, the IDF said a “suspicious aerial target” entered Israeli airspace from the direction of the Red Sea and impacted an open area north of Eilat, causing no damage or injuries.
According to the IDF, the target was tracked by the Air Force throughout the incident.
It is unclear if the Houthis are referring to the same incident.
