Israeli military intercepts missile launched from Yemen

The Israeli military confirmed that it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Thursday, stating that the projectile was shot down outside Israeli territory. This announcement came after sirens were triggered in the Dead Sea area. The missile was reportedly targeted by Israel’s air defences. 

The Houthis, the armed group in Yemen, have not officially claimed responsibility for the launch. The Houthis have previously said their intent is to attack Israeli interests in retaliation for Israel’s actions against Palestinians and Lebanese.
