Yemen’s ruling Houthi movement has targeted a military base and an industrial area deep inside Israel with three Quds 5 missiles, the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree said on Wednesday. According to Reuters, there was no confirmation from the Israeli military about any attack from Yemen yesterday.

The Houthis have fired missiles and drones repeatedly at Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians ever since the occupation state launched its devastating war on the besieged Gaza Strip almost a year ago.

The movement added that the continuous US and UK support for Israel will put their national interests under fire. “We will not hesitate to widen our military operations against the Israeli enemy and those who are behind it until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon ends,” insisted Saree.
