Israel says it intercepted missile from Yemen

The Israeli military said on Sunday that it intercepted a missile that was launched from Yemen toward Israel.

Sirens sounded in several areas in Israel, the military added.

Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have continued to fire missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, although they have agreed to halt attacks on U.S. ships.
