Yemen’s Ansarallah group says it used a new missile, dubbed “Palestine”, for the first time in the attack against the southern Israeli city of Eilat, known in Arabic as Umm al-Rashrash.

“The Yemeni Armed Forces will persist their military operations in support and in solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted,” Ansarallah said in a statement.

Early on Monday, the Israeli military said it downed a missile over Eilat. No injuries were reported.
