Yemen's Houthi rebels have confirmed that they launched drones towards Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for the ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
The AFP news agency said a senior official from the group had told its journalist about Houthi involvement in the conflict.
"These drones belong to the state of Yemen," said Abdelaziz bin Habtour, the prime minister of the Sanaa based government in Yemen dominated by the group.
Israeli officials had earlier confirmed that a drone had been detected in the Red Sea and local media outlets said it had been brought down by the Israeli military.
