Yemen’s Houthi group announced yesterday evening that it had attacked new targets in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv and a power station in the city of Eilat.
The military spokesman for the Houthi forces, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement that “the air force conducted a qualitative military operation with a number of drones targeting Israeli enemy sites in the occupied Jaffa area [Tel Aviv].”
He added that “the group’s missile force carried out a second military operation with a winged missile that targeted the Israeli enemy’s power station in the Umm Al-Rashrash area [Eilat].”
“The two operations successfully hit their targets,” he noted.
Saree vowed “to carry out more military operations against the Israeli enemy in support of the Palestinian resistance.”
He also stressed that “these operations will not stop until the [Israeli] aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.”
Earlier yesterday morning, the group announced that it had successfully hit the Israeli Defence Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic ballistic missile, and that interception systems had failed to stop the attack.
The Israeli occupation army claimed in a statement that it had “intercepted” the missile “before it entered the country’s airspace.”
The Israeli ambulance service reported that “11 people were injured while trying to reach shelters as the missile was intercepted, in addition to four cases of panic attacks.”
