Yemen's Houthi group said it launched a long-range "hypersonic ballistic missile" and three drones on three cities in Israel on Thursday night.



In a televised statement aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, the group's military spokesman Yahya Sarea said the missile targeted a military target in the city of Jaffa (Tel Aviv), while the three drones hit targets in the city of Beer Sheva and the port city of Eilat.



"Eilat will remain under the continuous targeting of our military operations," Sarea said.



Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that a drone hit a hotel in Eilat and damaged its gate, while the missile and other drones from Yemen were intercepted. No casualties were reported.
