DOHA: The Houthis from Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement have delivered strike on Tel Aviv’s Jaffa neighborhood and on the city of Ashkelon, the movement’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said.
"The air forces <…> conducted a military operation and delivered strikes on a number of military and vital facilities of the Israeli enemy in Jaffa and Ashkelon in the south of occupied Palestine," he said in a statement posted on his Telegram channel.
According to Sarea, the Houthi drones "successfully hit their targets" in Israel.
Following the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis warned that they would launch strikes on Israeli territory while barring ships associated with the Jewish state from passing through the waters of the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait until Tel Aviv ceased its military operation against Palestinian radical group Hamas in the embattled enclave. Since mid-November, dozens of civilian ships have been attacked by the Houthi in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
In response to Ansar Allah's actions, the US authorities announced the creation of an international coalition and preparations for an operation codenamed Prosperity Guardian, expected to ensure freedom of navigation and protection of ships in the Red Sea. Since then, the United States and the United Kingdom have been regularly delivering strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
