The Houthi military forces from Yemen have claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack targeting what they refer to as the Israeli Defense Ministry in the occupied area of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv. The attack was carried out using a 'Zulfiqar' ballistic missile, according to Houthi military spokesperson General Yahya Saria. The Houthis assert that the missile struck its target with high precision and that the enemy's defense systems failed to intercept it. This claim comes shortly after a ceasefire agreement was reached in the Gaza Strip, and the Houthis have stated they are coordinating with Palestinian resistance groups to address any violations by the Israeli forces during the ceasefire period.
