The Israeli army said in a statement: “The Israeli army’s air defense system intercepted a drone over the Mediterranean Sea, dozens of kilometers off the coast of central Israel.”
A Sky News Arabia correspondent in Israel confirmed that “a suspicious air target was intercepted over the sea off Tel Aviv.”
Before the Israeli army announced, media outlets close to the Houthi group in Yemen reported that the Houthis had launched a ballistic missile towards Tel Aviv.
The interception and talk about launching a missile from Yemen towards Tel Aviv came after the start of the Israeli ground incursion into Lebanon, with the Israeli army announcing that its forces had begun “limited” raids on targets belonging to the Hezbollah group in the border area.
The army said in a statement that the group’s targets are located in villages close to the border that pose a “direct threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel.”
He added that the air force and artillery support the ground forces with “accurate strikes.”
