The military spokesman for the Houthi group, Yahya Saree, announced on Thursday that the group fired a group of ballistic missiles at various targets in Israel, including military targets in the city of Eilat.

Sarie said that the missiles hit their targets accurately and caused damage to enemy areas, despite his secrecy.

In addition, on Thursday evening, Israeli Army Radio quoted Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israeli army, as saying that his country’s air defense forces succeeded in shooting down a “surface-to-surface” missile launched from Yemen, before it reached Israeli territory.

Daniel Hagari reported that Israeli forces intercepted the missile that was fired at Eilat earlier today, more than 100 kilometers from Israeli territory, and that warning sirens were activated as a precaution.

The Israeli police announced that a drone had fallen and was likely launched from Yemen. It caused panic among settlers in Eilat, and fires broke out after it fell, while the so-called Star of David transported 7 wounded as a result of the drone falling.
