Yemen’s Houthi group says it “achieved its goals” in a drone attack on Tel Aviv, although there was no confirmation from Israeli authorities.
“The operation achieved its goals successfully as the drones reached their targets without the enemy being able to confront or shoot them down,” said military spokesman Yahya Saree.
The attack was “in continuation of the victory for the injustice of the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples”, he added.
The Israeli military said it intercepted “a suspicious aerial target” off central Israel overnight, without giving further details. On Wednesday, the Houthis claimed to have fired cruise missiles at Israel, following Iran’s mass bombardment of the country the night before.
Last week, the rebels said they fired a missile at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, prompting Israeli air strikes on Yemen including the vital port of Hodeidah.
