Earlier, on December 16, Yahya Saria said that the Yemeni Houthis struck a hypersonic ballistic missile at a military facility near Tel Aviv. It was also reported that the successful operation achieved all targets.

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.
