Israel intercepts missile over Red Sea

The Israeli military intercepted “an aerial threat" that was detected in the Red Sea south of Eilat.

The military said there was no threat to civilians and that the projectile didn't penetrate Israeli territory. It was shot down by air defence systems.

Missiles fired by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have crossed the Red Sea targeting Israel.

The statement comes after the Houthi's earlier claimed responsibility for firing ballistic missiles at Israel.
