The Houthi movement in Yemen has claimed responsibility for a drone attack in the Tel Aviv area of Israel, describing it as a ‘specific military operation’ in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
In a statement issued on Monday, the group announced that its forces had targeted what it described as a ‘sensitive location in Israel.’ According to Israeli authorities, a drone struck a residential building in the city of Yavne, south of Tel Aviv. The Israeli military confirmed that air defence systems failed to intercept the aircraft, prompting an investigation into the breach.
No injuries were reported, although the strike caused damage to several apartments, Israeli media reported.

The Houthis said that the attack was a response to what they termed Israel’s ‘massacres’ in Gaza, where an ongoing military campaign has intensified over the past year. The group, which controls significant territories in Yemen, including the capital Sanaa, declared its intention to continue such operations until Israel halts its actions in Gaza.
