Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced that the group targetted Tel Aviv with five drones at dawn, Thursday. He confirmed the success of the operation, however the Israeli army admited only two drones falling on the city.

As broadcast on Al Masirah Saree said that the Yemeni air force attacked a vital target in occupied Jaffa with a number of drones, stressing the operation achieved its goals by the arrival of the drones without the enemy detecting or shooting them down.

The military spokesman added the Jaffa operation comes within the fifth phase of the “Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad” battle, and stressed the continuation of operations until the aggression on Gaza and Lebanon stops.

The Israeli army said it had detected two drones in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv, adding it intercepted one and the second fell in an open area.

In turn, the Israeli media reported that five drones were launched from Yemen at dawn and exploded at low altitude in the airspace over the Tel Aviv area.

The Houthi group announced Wednesday, its missile force targeted the Nevatim base and the Rotem industrial zone in the Negev with missiles.

The group said that the operation was carried out with the “Quds 5” winged missiles that were revealed for the first time, and that the targeting operation was accurate and the missiles reached their targets.

It explained the “Quds 5” missile used in the operation was developed and is capable of hitting any target in occupied Palestine.

The Israeli military acknowledged, Wednesday, the Iranian missile strike on Tuesday evening caused damage to its air bases, but downplayed its significance and did not disclose their locations.

Israeli Army Radio said several air force bases were damaged in the Iranian attack, but “there was no damage to their infrastructure.”

Israeli news platforms also quoted the military as saying that there were no injuries to aircraft or weapons, and the military denied Iran had fired supersonic missiles in its attack on Israel.

Anadolu Agency quoted an Israeli military source as saying that the missiles “caused damage to administrative buildings (inside the air bases)… in the shell, not in the core.”

The source refused to disclose the damaged sites, saying: “There is no damage to continuity or follow-up plans, and the evidence is that the aircraft landed and took off from all the bases.”

The Israeli propagandists released this video admitting that their airbases were hit by Iran but nothing was damaged.

The same source also denied that any Israelis were injured in the Iranian attack.

Targeting Mossad Headquarters

Earlier, the American website Axios quoted an Israeli military official as saying that dozens of Iranian missiles were fired at the headquarters of the Foreign Intelligence Service (Mossad) in Tel Aviv, but he said none of them fell inside the complex.

Also, CNN said that an analysis of video clips showed that an Iranian missile exploded less than one kilometer from the Mossad headquarters.

Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel, Tuesday evening, in an attack it said was in response to the assassination of the head of the Hamas political bureau Ismail Haniyeh, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, and commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Abbas Nilforoushan.

Following the strike Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned: “if the Zionists make any mistakes, they will receive a stronger and more destructive response.”

Iranian Chief of Staff General Mohammad Bagheri revealed that the strike targeted three main air bases and a Mossad headquarters.

He said among them were the Nevatim base, which houses F-35 fighter jets, and the Hatzerim base, which he said was responsible for the assassination of Nasrallah, adding that the attack targeted radars and a gathering of tanks and armored personnel carriers in the Gaza Strip.

Israel imposes strict media censorship on what is published about its losses, in light of its war on Gaza, which has been ongoing for about a year, and its current attack on Lebanon, which is the largest since the 2006 war according to Al Jazeera.
