SANAA, July 30 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi group said in a televised statement late Wednesday that it launched five drones toward three Israeli military targets earlier in the evening.
In the statement aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, the group's military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, said the five drones struck military targets in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and the Negev.
He claimed the operation was "successful" and "hit the targets."
Earlier in the evening, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that it intercepted a drone fired from Yemen before it entered Israeli airspace. It added that "no air-raid sirens were activated from the attack."
This was the second Houthi attack against Israel in 24 hours after the IDF reported the interception of a Houthi missile attack on Tuesday evening.
The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been targeting Israel since November 2023 to show solidarity with the besieged Palestinians in Gaza. Enditem
