The attack triggered air-raid sirens across central Israel, including Tel Aviv.
The Israeli attacks reportedly coincided with a televised address by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the terror organization’s most senior leader.
The threat to send Abdul-Malik al-Houthi ‘to hell’ follows the explosion of a UAV in Eilat amid repeated launches and retaliatory strikes.
The Houthis launched at least two drones and a ballistic missile toward the Jewish state on Thursday night.
The attack triggered sirens in the town of Be’er Ora, located adjacent to Ramon Airport in southern Israel.
The IAF’s “Operation Drop of Luck” will be remembered as the deadliest strike the Houthi leadership has ever sustained.
“Taking out their leaders is not enough to stop the Houthi threat,” Maj. (res.) Alexander Grinberg told JNS. “The Houthis are not Hezbollah.”
The attack triggered air-raid sirens in the southern Negev and Arava regions.
“We promised more blows, and today we dealt another painful strike to the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen,” said Defense Minister Israel Katz.
No reports of damage or injuries from either incident • Followed three downed UAVs the day before, also sent from Yemen.
Two UAVs were downed in the southern Negev and the Arava. The third UAV’s location was not specified by the military.
Video appears to show the moment of impact. The airspace over Ramon was briefly shut down.
