The Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for the overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel and this morning’s attempted drone attack.

The Iran-backed terror group claims to have targeted a power station east of Tel Aviv in the overnight missile attack. The IDF said the missile was shot down by air defenses, but a fragment impacted near the central city of Modiin.

The Houthis also claim to have hit a military target in the Tel Aviv area this morning with a drone. According to the IDF, the drone was shot down by the Israeli Air Force before reaching Israel.
