ALBAWABA - In their latest attack on Israel, Houthi militants claimed they had carried out a number of drone attacks as the Israeli aggression on Gaza enters its second month. 

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said on X, formerly known as Twitter, that "the Yemeni armed forces... launched a batch of drones during the past hours at various sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy in the occupied territories".

Saree continued to say that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to carry out more qualitative military operations in support of the oppression of  Palestinian people & in response to calls of our great Yemeni people & all nations until brutal Israeli aggression against our brothers in Gaza stops.

Israeli forces have yet to officially confirm the Houthi attack. 

Hamas operation against Israel

Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.

Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip capturing military bases and taking hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.

In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.

As the Israeli aggression enters its second month on the besieged strip, according to the Ministry of Health's latest report, Israeli forces managed to kill more than 10,022 Palestinians, including 4,104 children and 2,641.

Additionally, 24,808 have reportedly been injured varying between severe and minor injuries. Ministry of Health also received 2,660 reports of missing people, most of whom are children.
