Yemen’s Houthi militants on Monday claimed they launched a missile targeting Israel.
Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree made the claim in a prerecorded video message, claiming that the group launched a Palestine-2 ballistic missile he described as a “hypersonic” toward a military base.
The Israeli military said it “intercepted one projectile that approached Israel from the direction of Yemen.” The Israelis also said the fire did not enter Israeli territory.
The Houthis have launched missiles and targeted ships through the Red Sea corridor over the ongoing Mideast wars. The militants separately said sites in the country came under attack in likely US airstrikes early Monday morning, something not immediately acknowledged by the Americans.

The Israeli military said on Thursday that it had attacked and destroyed medium-range rocket launchers at a Hezbollah military site in southern Lebanon.

The military said in a statement that before the strike it had sent a request to Lebanon's army to destroy the launchers and that the launchers were only attacked after the Lebanese side failed to act.

The Lebanese army did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
