The Israeli army is preparing to strike Yemen in response to recent Houthi missile and drone attacks, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation Kan reported on Monday.
The Houthi movement, known officially as Ansar Allah, claimed to have struck a "military target" near Tel Aviv on Monday with a hypersonic ballistic missile.
The group's military spokesman Yahya Saree declared in a televised address that the operation was a success, though Israeli media reported intercepting the missile before it entered its airspace.
The Houthis have been launching attacks against Israel since the outbreak of the war in Gaza last year. They say the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians.
The Yemeni group has also targeted shipping lanes in the Red Sea, describing these operations as part of their efforts to pressure Israel into halting the war on Gaza.
