The Houthi movement in Yemen has claimed responsibility for launching two ballistic missiles targeting military sites in Tel Aviv, Israel. The attack reportedly occurred overnight and aimed at 'two specific and sensitive military targets' in the Jaffa region. This operation coincided with recent Israeli military actions against Yemen, which the Houthis cited as a motivation for their strike. The Houthi military spokesperson confirmed that the missiles used were of the 'Palestine 2' type, emphasizing that their military operations would continue in support of Gaza amid ongoing conflict. The group has expressed that Israeli actions will not deter their efforts to respond to what they describe as aggression against Yemen and Gaza.
