Nasruddin Amer, in a post on X, appears to claim the missile attack on central Israel earlier this morning, saying Israeli air forces shot 20 interceptors at the Yemeni projectile but failed to take it down.

“It’s the beginning,” the Houthi spokesperson wrote.

“The air defences failed and the Yemeni missile reached, thanks be to God,” he said in a separate post. “Previously drones and now the missiles, all of which reached without any obstacles. The future holds much much more.”

Amer added that he was waiting for a statement from the Houthi armed forces.
