The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Israel, their first since the war in West Asia started.
Brig Gen Yahya Saree, a military spokesman for the Houthis, issued the claim in a statement aired Saturday morning by the rebels Al-Masirah
satellite television.
The Israeli military said it intercepted the missile.
The attack came hours after Saree signalled in a vague statement Friday that the rebels would join the war that shocked the region and rattled the global economy.
Saree said they fired a barrage of ballistic missiles targeting what he described as “sensitive Israeli military sites” in southern Israel.
The entrance of the Houthis into the war also called into question whether the rebels will again target commercial shipping traveling through the Red Sea corridor, further disrupting global shipping.
