[Regnum] Rebels from the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) attacked a power plant east of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. This is stated in a statement by the armed forces of this organization.

"The first operation using the Palestine-2 hypersonic missile was undertaken to attack a power plant," the report said.

In addition, the Houthis claim that they used unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to strike a "military target" located in Tel Aviv. The Ansar Allah movement noted that both objects were successfully hit.

As reported by Regnum, on December 28, the Houthis said they had attacked the Nevatim air base in the Negev Desert in southern Israel with a Palestine-2 hypersonic missile. On December 31, the Ansar Allah movement reported that it had struck the US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman using cruise missiles and drones.

On January 1, the Houthis claimed to have shot down a US-made MQ-9 Reaper drone over Yemeni territory. According to Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Sariyeh, the drone was in the airspace of Marib province. He claims that this is the second MQ-9 Reaper that the Houthis have managed to shoot down over Yemeni territory in 72 hours.
The Times of Israel reported yesterday:
The Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s in Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
take responsibility for the overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel and this morning’s attempted drone attack.
The Iran-backed terror group claims to have targeted a power station east of Tel Aviv in the overnight missile attack. The IDF said the missile was shot down by air defenses, but a fragment impacted near the central city of Modiin.

The Houthis also claim to have hit a military target in the Tel Aviv area this morning with a drone. According to the IDF, the drone was shot down by the Israeli Air Force before reaching Israel.
