SANAA, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) — Yemen's Houthi group said on Tuesday it carried out multiple attacks on Israeli targets, including the Israeli army's General Staff building in Tel Aviv, Ben Gurion International Airport and a ship in the northern Red Sea.
On the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah TV channel, the movement's military spokesman Yahya Saria noted that "a Sammad-4 drone struck the Israeli army's General Staff building" in Tel Aviv. He added that drone strikes also hit the Hadera power plant, Ben Gurion Airport and the port of Ashdod.
Y. Saria also reported that the group fired two drones and a cruise missile at the container ship MSC Aby in the northern Red Sea, accusing the vessel of maintaining trade links with Israeli ports.
The above claims could not be verified. Neither Israel nor the ship's operator has yet commented on the incidents.
The new suspected attacks came a day after the Houthis launched a missile strike on the Scarlet Ray oil tanker in the northern Red Sea.
The escalation followed an Israeli airstrike on Thursday on the Houthi-held Yemeni capital of Sanaa. The attack killed Ahmed al-Rahawi, the head of Yemen's Houthi-formed government, along with 11 ministers, in a major blow to the rebels who control much of northern Yemen.
The attack on the Houthi cabinet was intended to deter the rebels from further attacks on Israel and Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea, Israeli media reported. But the group vowed revenge, warning of "dark days" for Israel. -0-
