Yemen's Houthis have stirred the media with a bold claim: they launched drone attacks on military targets in central Tel Aviv. According to spokesperson Yahya Sarea, two drones were used in what he called a "qualitative military operation" against designated sites. 🚀
This move, which the group says supports the Palestinian people in their struggle, comes as regional tensions intensify. In an unexpected twist, a Yemeni drone was intercepted near the Dead Sea after it entered Jordanian airspace, stopping it from reaching its target.
Adding fuel to the fire, the Houthis also claimed earlier attacks targeting U.S. vessels, including the USS Harry S. Truman in the northern Red Sea. However, the U.S. Central Command maintained that its carrier strike group continues non-stop operations, challenging these claims.
The situation has further complicated as intensified airstrikes hit northern Yemen, affecting areas in Sanaa, Marib, and Hodeidah. Residents have reported the alarming sounds of speeding missiles and fighter jets, capturing the tense atmosphere on the ground.
The Houthis stated that they would cease their actions if Israel stops its operations in Gaza and permits the entry of essential food and medicine into the area. As this dramatic episode unfolds, the region braces for more developments in a landscape that seems straight out of an action movie.
