Yemen’s Houthi rebel group said on Tuesday evening that its forces launched a barrage of ballistic missiles toward the Israeli southern city of Eilat. “The operations of the Yemeni armed forces against the ‘Israeli’ enemy will not stop until the ‘Israeli’ aggression on our brothers in Gaza ceases,” the group stressed in a post on one of its Telegram channels. “This comes only 24 hours after another military operation carried out by our armed forces with drones on the same targets,” the statement read. Israel previously said that a missile was intercepted over the Red Sea, adding that the rocket did not cross into the Israeli territory. Houthi movement leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi warned that its forces will continue to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea.
Yemen’s Houthi have launched a batch of ballistic missiles on various Israel targets, including sensitive ones in Israel’s Eilat, the group’s military spokesperson said on Tuesday. The launch came “after 24 hours of another military operation by drones on the same Israeli targets,” the spokesperson added. The spokesperson said that the group “will not hesitate to target any Israeli ship in the Red Sea or at any other place” the group could reach.
