Houthis enhanced their missile capabilities: Israeli think tank

The Houthis have enhanced their missile capabilities and are now able to strike central Israel, according to the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).

Yemeni drones demonstrated their lethal effectiveness in a recent attack on Tel Aviv, which occurred just before Israel bombed Hodeidah port, the security think tank reported. 

"This is serious and demonstrates that despite all efforts to counter them, the Houthis not only have the capacity to strike Israel but have also upgraded their launch abilities to reach the centre of the country." 

The Houthi movement, which controls northern Yemen, has fired at Israel several times since last October in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
