DUBAI, November 6. /TASS/. Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthi) rebel movement claims that it has staged another attack on "sensitive facilities" in Israel.

"In the past several hours, the Yemeni armed forces <…> launched a series of drones at various sensitive facilities of the Israeli enemy on the occupied [Palestinian] territories. As a result of the operation, traffic at the targeted military bases and airports was suspended for several hours," Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria said in a statement posted on his Telegram channel.

According to the Houthi spokesman, attacks will continue until the end of hostilities in the Gaza Strip.

The Houthi staged its first attack on Israel on October 31, when according to Saria, "a large batch of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as a lot of drones" were launched "at various enemy targets on Israel-occupied territories."

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on the same day that sirens warning about an enemy aircraft had sounded near Eilat in southern Israel. Later, Israel’s Kan radio station said that a drone had been launched from Yemen and shot down over the Red Sea.

On October 27, Egyptian air defense systems intercepted two drones over the northeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula, which were flying northward from the southern part of the Red Sea. Shortly before this, the Israeli foreign ministry said that the Houthi had struck Egypt with missiles and drones.
