Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said they attacked an airport and “important military targets” in southern Israel on Saturday with a ballistic missile and several drones, the Times of Israel reported. The missile landed in open space without causing any injuries or damage, the Israeli army said.
The Houthis, who support Iran in its war against the United States and Israel, claimed responsibility for the attack via a video from their spokesman on Platform X. They said the attack targeted several “sensitive” military facilities and the Tel Aviv airport.
It is the fifth missile fired from Yemen since the beginning of the war, which began in late February with an Israeli-American offensive against Iran. Houthi rebels, who had previously supported Palestinian Hamas against Israel in the Gaza Strip, joined the war last week, AFP recalled.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that the missile fired from Yemen fell into open space without causing any injuries or damage, the website reported.
