Yemen’s Houthis launched drones towards Israel’s Ashkelon, spokesperson says

Yemen’s Houthis launched drones towards an industrial zone in the Israeli city of Ashkelon, the militant group’s military spokesperson said on Tuesday.

The Yemeni fighters, who have being attacking ships crossing the Red Sea since November of last year, say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and in support of Lebanon against Israeli strikes.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday morning that sirens sounded in Ashkelon after a drone crossed into Israeli territory but fell in an open space in the area.

Israel condemns the Houthis as terrorists following the instructions of its arch-foe Iran.
