Houthis attack Israeli general staff building
(VOVWORLD) - In a statement aired on the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV on Tuesday, military spokesman Yahya Sarea said "a Sammad-4 drone struck the Israeli army's general staff building" in Tel Aviv, and other drones targeted a power station in Hadera, Ben Gurion airport, and the port of Ashdod.

Sarea said the group launched two drones and a cruise missile at the container ship MSC Aby in the northern Red Sea, accusing the vessel of maintaining trade links with Israeli ports.
The attacks came a day after the Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile attack near the oil tanker Scarlet Ray in the northern Red Sea.
The escalation follows an Israeli airstrike on Thursday in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa which killed Ahmed al-Rahawi, the Houthi-appointed prime minister, and at least 12 other Houthi ministers.
