Yemen’s Houthis launch missiles, drones targeting Israel cities

Yemen’s Houthi group said it launched a long-range “hypersonic ballistic missile” and three drones on three cities in Israel. 

In a televised statement , the group’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea said the missile targeted a military target in the city of Jaffa (Tel Aviv), while the three drones hit targets in the city of Beer Sheva and the port city of Eilat, Xinhua news agency reported.

“Eilat will remain



under the continuous targeting of our military operations,” Sarea said.

Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that a drone hit a hotel in Eilat and damaged its gate, while the missile and other drones from Yemen were intercepted. No casualties were reported.

The Israeli military says a drone launched “from the east” crashed in the southern city of Eilat, causing material damage but no casualties.
