In a new announcement, the Houthi militia claimed to carry out a military operation during which it targeted the Nevatim air base belonging to the Israeli enemy in the Negev region in southern occupied Palestine.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said in a statement that the operation was carried out using a “Palestine 2” hypersonic ballistic missile.

Sarie confirmed that the attack came within the framework of “responding to the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation,” while the Houthi group did not provide any additional details about the nature of the damage to the targeted base.

On the other hand, Israel announced later this morning that its defense system had intercepted another Houthi missile that entered its airspace at dawn today, confirming that the missile was destroyed before reaching its targets.

There were no reports of injuries or damage as a result of this attack.
