Houthis claim to have fired two ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim the overnight missile attack against Israel, hours after Israel said it intercepted a strike, Report informs via The Times of Israel.

The intercepted strike came at the same time as Israel was carrying out raids on the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen, who have fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the past year.

The group’s spokesman Yahya Saree said the rebels had targeted “two specific and sensitive military targets… in the occupied Yaffa area,” referring to the Jaffa region near Tel Aviv, with “hypersonic ballistic missiles.”

Israel says one missile was fired and intercepted, though debris hit a school near Ramat Gan, collapsing a building. There were no injuries.
