Yemen : Israel Military Says They Intercepted Houthi Missile

The Israeli military said Sunday that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, shortly after sirens sounded.
"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in Talmei Elazar, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory," the military said in a statement posted to Telegram.
On Friday, Israel's military said it shot down a drone launched from Yemen after it crossed into Israeli territory.
Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels have been firing missiles and drones at Israel -- as well as at ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden -- in what they say is a solidarity campaign with Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
The Huthis have stepped up their attacks since November's ceasefire between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Israel has also struck Yemen, including targeting Sanaa's international airport at the end of December.
