The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for this morning’s ballistic missile attack on southern Israel.
In a statement, the Hotuhis claim to have targeted “sensitive Israeli enemy targets” in the south with a “barrage of ballistic missiles.”
The Houthis also claim the attack was “conducted jointly with” Iran and Hezbollah.
According to the IDF, one missile fired from Yemen was intercepted. There were no reports of injuries.
