Yemen’s Houthis announce ‘successful’ attack on Tel Aviv
The Houthis say they have successfully carried out drone strikes against Israel, targeting a number of military and other “vital targets”.
“The UAV force of Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a specific military operation targeting a number of military and vital targets of the Israeli enemy in Yaffa area and Ashkelon area southern occupied Palestine,” the group said in a statement.
The attack “successfully achieved its objectives”, the statement added. There was no immediate response from Israel.
In July, the Houthi rebels hit Tel Aviv for the first time and Israeli forces extensively damaged Yemen’s crucial port of Hodeidah in response. The militia says it will continue attacking Israel and shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden until the war on Gaza ends.
