'Military site' in southern Israeli city of Eilat targeted: Yemen's Houthis

Yemen's Houthis say they targeted a military site for the first time on Israel's Eilat with a ballistic missile, the Iranian-backed group's military spokesperson Yahya Saree said on Monday.

The Houthis have attacked ships off its coast for months, in solidarity with Palestinians fighting Israel in Gaza.

The group targeted the military site "with a ballistic missile 'Palestine' that is being revealed today for the first time, and the operation has successfully achieved its objective," Saree said in a televised address.
