The Yemeni Houthis struck a hypersonic missile at the Israeli airbase Nevatim, located in the Negev region. Yahya Saria, a military spokesman for the Houthis, said this on November 22 on AI Masihar TV channel.

"Yemeni missile forces carried out a military operation attacking the Nevatim airbase belonging to the Israeli enemy in the Negev region in southern occupied Palestine. The operation was carried out using the Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, which successfully reached its target," he said.

Saria added that such operations will not stop until Israel's "aggression in Gaza and Lebanon stops."

Prior to that, on Nov. 17, Saria said that the Hussein carried out unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strikes on a target in the city of Eilat in southern Israel. He did not specify when exactly the attack took place.

Earlier, on November 13, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder reported that Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement struck two U.S. missile destroyers in the Red Sea with UAVs, anti-ship ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. He specified that the destroyers USS Spruance and USS Stockdale were targeted.

Before that, on November 12, the Houthis struck the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. In addition, the Houthis attacked two U.S. destroyers in the Red Sea. According to Yemeni Armed Forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saria, such operations will not stop until the fighting in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon is over.

Earlier, on November 8, Saria announced a strike by Yemeni Houthis with a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile on Nevatim, TASS reported.

The Houthis began striking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November last year in protest against Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip. On the night of January 12, in response to their actions, the US and the UK launched an attack on the Houthis' facilities in Yemen. The White House said the strikes on movement-controlled areas of the country were defensive in nature. It was also claimed at the time that the strikes were carried out to protect international vessels.
