Yemen's Houthi rebels said Wednesday that they had fired a ballistic missile and two drones at Israel, days after an attack on Tel Aviv wounded 16 people, APA reports citing NDTV.
Israel's military said it intercepted the missile and that one drone "fell in an open area" after sirens sounded in the country's south, near the Gaza Strip.
"The UAV (drone) force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out two military operations" targeting Israel's commercial hub of Tel Aviv and the southern city of Ashkelon, a Houthi military statement said.
The missile was also aimed at the Tel Aviv area, the Houthis announced earlier. The Israelis said it was shot down before it entered Israeli territory.
A Houthi military statement said the attack was carried out "using a hypersonic ballistic missile, type Palestine 2".
