Missile launched from Yemen into Israel intercepted, Israeli army says

The Israeli army said in the early hours of Saturday that a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory.

Sirens sounded in a number of areas in Israel following the launch, the Israeli army added in a statement.

There was no immediate comment from Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis, who have been launching attacks against Israel as well as ships they perceive as affiliated to Israel, in what they say is to support the Palestinians in Gaza against the Israeli offensive on the enclave.
