Israeli forces intercept missile launched from Yemen

The Israeli army announced that it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen after sirens rang out in central Israel. 

In its statement, the military confirmed that its aerial defence unit intercepted the projectile before it entered Israeli territory.

The Yemeni group has been conducting attacks in support of Palestinians in Gaza since the start of Israel's war on the besieged territory. 

In a statement, the Houthis declared: “The martyrdom of Hassan Nasrallah will increase the flame of sacrifice, the heat of enthusiasm and the strength of resolve.” They pledged to achieve “victory and the demise of the Israeli enemy”.
