The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said in a statement: "The Yemeni Armed Forces' missile force carried out qualitative military operations against the Israeli occupation," explaining that "the operations included bombing a sensitive Israeli military target in the Jaffa (Tel Aviv) area with a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile, and the operation successfully achieved its goal."
Sarea continued, saying, "The operation caused millions of Zionist herds to flee to shelters and closed the airspace over occupied Palestine," noting that "three drones targeted the cities of Eilat and Beersheba, and successfully achieved their objectives."
He stressed that "the Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) area will remain under continuous targeting by the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations," adding, "Facts and developments have proven that this criminal enemy is a danger that threatens the region, its countries and peoples, and its danger is not limited to the geography of occupied Palestine, which requires everyone to bear responsibility."
On Thursday evening, a drone launched from Yemen exploded near the entrance to a hotel in the Israeli city of Eilat, with no immediate reports of casualties or injuries, according to Hebrew media.
