Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi group said it launched a “large number” of drones and ballistic missiles towards Israel on Tuesday, after Israel’s military said it downed an approaching “aerial target” off the Red Sea city of Eilat.

The operation was the third targeting Israel and there would be more, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a televised statement.
