Houthi armed spokeswoman Yehaya Saleh said in a statement via the organization-controlled Masila TV channel that the organization used a ¡°Palestine-2¡± high-speed ballistic missile to strike a ¡°sensitive military target¡± in Tel Aviv, using three drones to strike multiple targets in Eilat, and using a drone to strike a ¡°sensitive target¡± in Belize.
