Israel says it intercepted a missile from Yemen

The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards its territory. The launch coincides with US President Donald Trump's visit to the Gulf.

Trump announced earlier in May that he had reached a ceasefire with Yemen's Houthis that will halt attacks on US vessels. Trump declared that the US would stop bombing the Ansar Allah group in Yemen as the group, which controls most of the country, had agreed to stop attacking US ships.

The Houthis said they will continue to fire missiles and drones towards Israel.

The Houthis have attacked numerous vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade, in a campaign that they say is aimed at showing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
