The Houthis have disrupted commercial shipping and launched drones and missiles toward Israel throughout the country's war with Hamas. Yahya Sare'e, the Houthis' spokesperson, claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement published on the social media platform X. The Houthi strike, the first to threaten Tel Aviv, hit at around 3:10 a.m. local time.
