[IsraelTimes] Iran-backed group in Yemen claimed Tuesday to have launched six drones at Israeli targets; one was shot down, others likely fell short on the way

Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is

at Israel early Thursday morning was intercepted by air defenses, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The missile, which was detected shortly after 4 a.m., did not set off any warning sirens in Israel. The military said no alerts were activated "according to protocol," as the projectile was downed far from the country’s borders.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The Houthis did not immediately issue a statement on the missile attack.
Thursday’s missile fire was the first such incident since the Houthis attempted a drone attack on Israel on Tuesday.
In a statement Tuesday, the Iran-backed group claimed to have launched six drones at Israel, targeting "vital targets" in Haifa, the Negev Desert, Eilat and Beersheba.
"The operations successfully achieved their objectives, thanks to Allah," the Houthis claimed.
The IDF reported shooting down one drone off the coast of Eilat, which did not set off sirens in Israel’s southernmost city because it posed no threat. The other five drones likely fell short before reaching the country’s borders, as many Houthi projectiles have previously.
The Houthis held their fire when a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Hamas

By that point, they had fired over 40 ballistic missiles and dozens of attack drones and cruise missiles at Israel, including one that killed a civilian and maimed several others in Tel Aviv in July, prompting Israel’s first strike in Yemen.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 69 ballistic missiles and at least 22 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.
