Al-Houthi announces attacking targets in Tel Aviv and a power station in Eilat
The Yemeni Houthi group announced, on Tuesday evening, that it had attacked new targets in Tel Aviv (central Israel) and a power station in the city of Eilat (south).
The military spokesman for the Houthi forces, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement monitored by the Anadolu Agency correspondent, that "the air force (of the group's forces) carried out a qualitative military operation with a number of drones targeting targets (which he did not mention) of the Israeli enemy in the occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv) area."
He added, "The group's missile force carried out a second military operation with a winged missile targeting the Israeli enemy's power station in the Umm al-Rashrash area (Eilat)."
He added, "The two operations achieved their goals successfully."
Saree pledged to "carry out more military operations against the Israeli enemy in support of the Palestinian resistance."
He also stressed that "these operations will not stop unless the (Israeli) aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted."
Earlier on Tuesday morning, the Yemeni group announced that it had successfully bombed the Israeli Defense Ministry headquarters in Tel Aviv with a hypersonic missile, and that the interception systems had failed to intercept it.
The Israeli army claimed in a statement that it had "intercepted" this missile "before it entered the country's airspace."
While the Israeli ambulance, known as the "Red Star of David", said that "11 people were injured while trying to reach the shelters during the interception of the missile, in addition to 4 cases of panic attacks."
These developments come amid reports of progress in negotiations on a possible ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal in Gaza.
