Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, has said that it carried out a strike on an Israeli military object in Tel Aviv.
Houthi military spokesman Brig-Gen. Yahya Saree said on Wednesday.
“We have carried out a military operation using a Jaffa drone against an Israeli military facility in the occupied Jaffa region,’’ Saree told Al Masirah broadcaster.
The Houthis also used drones against several military vessels in the northern Red Sea, including U.S. aircraft carrier, Harry Truman, the spokesman added.
Since mid-March, the movement has been carrying out strikes on Israel in response to the U.S. launching dozens of strikes at Houthi-controlled northern and central Yemeni regions, including the capital of Sanaa.
U.S. President Donald Trump ordered decisive military action against the Houthis after they renewed attacks on Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea in response to the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
