Israel's army says intercepted 'missile' from Red Sea region

Israel's air defense systems intercepted a missile launched from the Red Sea region at Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli military said. Fighter jets also shot down other targets in the area, the military added. Earlier on Tuesday, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels said they fired drones towards Israel in retaliation for its war against Hamas. "These drones belong to the state of Yemen," Abdelaziz bin Habtour, prime minister of the Houthi government, told AFP when asked about the launch towards Eilat in southern Israel.
