Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claim to launch a fresh drone attack against Israel.
The Houthis assert without any evidence that their latest strike temporarily halted activity at Israeli military bases and airports.
There was no immediate confirmation from Israel and no sirens or infiltration alerts were set off, while airports and military bases appeared to continue operating as normal.
An unsourced Channel 12 TV report suggested that drones from Yemen may have been shot down by Jordan. Other Houthi attacks over the past few weeks were intercepted by the US.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree writes on X that “the Yemeni armed forces… launched a batch of drones during the past hours at various sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied territories.”
“As a result of the operation, the activity at the targeted bases and airports stopped for several hours.”
