Yemeni Brig. Gen. Abdallah Al-Jafari announced that Houthi missiles and drones are able to reach Israel.

According to a Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) report, Jafari said in an interview on Iran’s Al-Alam TV on Jan. 31 that the United Arab Emirates would also be targeted.

“The very same missiles and drones that have reached the UAE today will reach Tel Aviv and the Eilat Port,” said Jafari.

AS for the UAE, he said, “Some of the targets that have been defined will be announced in the coming days. Personally, I expect that the Burj Khalifa and Expo 2020 [Dubai] will be targeted.”
