The Husis reported a missile hit an important target in Tel Aviv

Yemeni Houthis from the rebel Ansar Allah movement launched a missile attack on the Jaffa neighborhood of Tel Aviv using a hypersonic missile. Rebel military spokesman Yahya Saria said on December 1.

"Our missile forces carried out an operation by attacking an important target in the occupied Jaffa neighborhood using a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile," Al Mayadeen TV quoted him as saying.

The Ansar Allah spokesman noted that the target was "successfully hit." Saria added that the Houthis intend to "redouble military operations using rockets and drones" amid Israel 's ongoing crimes in the Gaza Strip.

Prior to that, on Nov. 22, Saria said that the Yemeni Houthis struck the Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel's Nevatim airbase in the Negev region. It successfully reached its target. He added that such operations will not stop until Israel's "aggression in Gaza and Lebanon stops."

Earlier, on Nov. 17, Saria noted that the Houthis carried out unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strikes on a target in the city of Eilat in southern Israel. However, he did not specify when exactly the attack took place.

The Houthis began striking ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since last November to protest Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip. On the night of Jan. 12, in response to their actions, the U.S. and Britain launched an attack on Houthi targets 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.
