The Israeli military on Saturday said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, as the US intensifies its strikes in Yemen against the Iran-backed Houthi group.
According to the military, sirens were activated in a number of areas in Israel after the missile was launched.
Recall that in March, US President Donald Trump ordered large-scale strikes against the Houthis to reduce their capabilities and deter them from attacking ships in the Red Sea.
The deadly strikes on the group were said to be the biggest US military operation in the Middle East since Trump took office in January.
The Houthis said their attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping were in solidarity with the Palestinians over the war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.
The group pledged to expand its range of targets in Israel in retaliation for a renewed offensive in Gaza that began two months ago.
The Yemeni group have also vowed to keep on attacking shipping after the US launched its biggest and deadliest military operation in Yemen since the second return to the White House of US President Donald Trump.
