The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for the overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel.

The Houthis say they launched the missile at a “military target” in the Tel Aviv area, claiming that “the operation has successfully achieved its objectives.”

The Israeli military said the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses.

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 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip amid the ongoing war there.
