Houthis Claim Missile Attack on Vital Target in Israel's Haifa

Yemen's Houthi rebels claim to have launched a joint military operation with an Iraqi group, targeting a vital location in Haifa, Israel on July 2nd, 2024. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree announced the attack in a televised statement, but did not disclose the specific target or provide evidence of success. 

The statement said the attack utilized "a number of winged missiles." The Houthis, aligned with Iran, have been carrying out drone and missile strikes against shipping lanes in the Red Sea since November 2023, expressing solidarity with Palestinians. These attacks have resulted in sunk vessels, a seized ship, and casualties.

Independent confirmation of the attack and its outcome are awaited. This is a developing story, and further information is expected.
