In a statement, the Houthis confirmed that they had launched a ballistic missile towards the Israeli port city of Eilat earlier today.
While the Houthis claimed that the launch “successfully achieved its objective,” the IDF announced that its “Arrow” ballistic missile defense system “successfully intercepted a surface-to-surface missile that was fired from the direction of the Red Sea toward Israel.”
There were no indications of impacts in or around Eilat today.
