Israeli military says missile from Yemen intercepted at dawn

Israel’s military says its air force intercepted a missile fired from Yemen early on Wednesday, after sirens sounded across several areas.

“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted,” the army posted on Telegram.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, though Yemen’s Houthi movement has regularly launched missiles and drones towards Israel, saying they are responding to Israel ongoing genocide in Gaza.
