ISTANBUL (AA) – The Yemeni Houthi group claimed that it targeted Israel with hypersonic ballistic missiles in coordination with the Iranian army on Sunday.
Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group hit “sensitive Israeli enemy targets” in Yaffa, central Israel, with hypersonic ballistic missiles at various times in the last 24 hours.
“This operation was coordinated with the operations carried out by the Iranian army against the criminal Israeli enemy,” Saree said.
“The operations successfully achieved their objectives,” he added.
No immediate reaction to the Houthi claim was reported from Israel.
The Yemeni strikes came in response to Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear and missile facilities that killed several military commanders and scientists on Friday.
Iran responded with ballistic missile attacks targeting Israeli territory, causing casualties and property damage.
