Iran-Backed Houthis Claim Drone Attack On Central Israel


(MENAFN- AzerNews) Yemen's Houthi group says it has carried out a drone attack in central Israel's Tel Aviv area in“a specific military operation” in support of Palestinians in Gaza, Azernews reports via AlJazeera.

The Houthis said in a statement on Monday that their forces struck“a sensitive target of the Israeli enemy”.

An Israeli military statement said a drone hit a building in the city of Yavne after air defence systems failed to detect it and an investigation into the failure is under way.

The Houthis said the operation“achieved its objective” without providing details.

No injuries were reported in the attack, which caused damage to several apartments in the building, according to Israeli media reports.

The Houthis said the attack was in response to Israel's military operations against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, where a devastating war outbroke more than a year ago.
