Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired drones towards Israel today in retaliation for its war against Hamas in Gaza, a senior official from the group has said. “These drones belong to the state of Yemen,” Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, PM of the Houthi government, said when asked about drones launched towards the port and resort city of Eilat, in southern Israel. Air raid sirens sounded in the Eilat region and it was reported in Israeli media that a drone was shot down over the Red Sea.
