In the north, Israel struck Hezbollah posts, targeting areas where mortar shells had been fired toward Israeli communities or militants trying to launch rockets.
Also on Tuesday, the Israeli military said its aerial defence systems intercepted a surface-to-surface missile from the Red Sea and a drone near the southern city of Eilat. No injuries or damage were reported.
The Houthis, who control Yemen’s capital and much of northern Yemen, said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon that they targeted Eilat and an Israeli air base in the Negev desert with ballistic missiles and several drones.
They said Tuesday’s attack was their third operation against Israel since the conflict between Israel and Hamas began, without elaborating on the previous two attacks.
