Houthis launch missiles at “Israel”, US navy

Yemen's Houthis said Thursday they targeted an “Israeli” airport and army site as well as a US warship.

The Houthis "targeted Ben Gurion airport... with a ballistic missile... and a military target" south of Tel Aviv, their military spokesperson Yahya Saree said, adding the group also "targeted hostile warships in the Red Sea, including the American aircraft carrier (USS Harry S.) Truman" in response to attacks blamed on the United States.

The “Israeli” military said it intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen after it activated air raid sirens across multiple areas, including Jerusalem.

"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, two missiles launched from Yemen were intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory," the military said in a statement.
