Yemen’s Houthi rebels carried out drone strikes in Israel’s Tel Aviv early this morning in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese wars against Israel. The operation achieved its objectives when the drones successfully reached their targets, the Houthis said in a statement.
“The Drone Air Force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting a vital target in the Yaffa area “Tel Aviv” in occupied Palestine using several Yaffa drones. The operation successfully achieved its objectives, with the drones achieved their objectives without the enemy being able to intercept or down them,” the statement said.
The armed forces said the attack, which was part of the fifth phase of the “Battle of the Promised Conquest,” was in support of the people of Palestine and Lebanon, and of Hamas’s “Al-Aqsa Deluge.”
Houthi rebels, who control most parts of Yemen and consider Israel their enemy, entered the war in support of Hamas after the conflict erupted in the Middle East last year. They are part of the Iranian ‘Axis of Resistance’ against Israel and the United States.
Houthis have fired multiple rockets at Israeli cities, while Israel carries out airstrikes in Yemen, targeting crucial infrastructure including power plants. Seaports used by Houthi rebels to transfer Iranian weapons have also come under attack in recent times.
