The Houthis announced yesterday that they had implemented a military operation targeting a vital site in Israel, using a hypersonic ballistic missile and four drones.

Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Houthis, said in a statement: “We conducted a military operation targeting a vital Israeli enemy site in the occupied city of Jaffa using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile and successfully achieved its objective.”

He pointed out that the group’s air force “conducted a top-tier military operation targeting vital Israeli sites in Yaffa with four drones that successfully achieved their objectives.”

The Houthi military spokesman confirmed that the group’s military operations against what he described as the “Israeli enemy” will continue until the “aggression” stops and the siege on the Gaza Strip is lifted.

The Houthis have been carrying out military operations using missiles and drones against Israel for about a year.

The group has expanded its operations to include targeting Israeli, American and British ships in the Red and Arabian Seas and the Gulf of Aden, as part of what they describe as their “support for the Palestinian people in Gaza.”

Israel responded by bombing Houthi targets in the port of Hudaydah and Sanaa.
