Houthis say they targeted Haifa and Jaffa with missile and drone

Yemen’s Houthi movement says it launched a ballistic missile and a drone targeting Haifa and Jaffa, in response to Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza.

A spokesperson for the group said the attack came as part of their commitment to support the Palestinian people. “We will not back down from our duties to support the Palestinians until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted,” the statement read.

Earlier, air raid sirens sounded across parts of Israel, with local reports indicating the alarms were triggered by aerial threats originating from Yemen.

The Houthis have repeatedly launched attacks toward Israel since the war on Gaza began, framing them as acts of solidarity. Israeli officials have yet to confirm the latest strike or report any damage.
