Israel's military says Yemen's Houthis fired 40 missiles, 320 drones at Israel

The Israeli military said in a statement on Thursday that the Houthi movement in Yemen has fired a total of 40 surface-to-surface missiles at Israel since the start of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023.

It added that out of all the missiles launched by the Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, all but three were intercepted.

In addition to the missiles, Ansar Allah fired 320 drones at Israeli territory. One hundred were intercepted, while two of the drones resulted in "effective hits".

The full extent of the damage caused by Ansar Allah's attacks is unknown, as throughout the war, Israel has barred off military zones and restricted the reporting of attacks on Israeli territory.
