SANAA, Dec 19, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Yemen's Huthi rebels on Thursday claimed a missile attack against Israel, hours after Israel said it intercepted a strike and retaliated by hitting ports and energy infrastructure.

The group's spokesman Yahya Saree said the rebels had targeted "two specific and sensitive military targets... in the occupied Yaffa area", referring to the Jaffa region near Tel Aviv, with "hypersonic ballistic missiles."
