CAIRO, Aug 1 (Reuters) – The Israeli military said on Friday it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards Israel that triggered sirens in several areas in the country.
Houthis have been firing at Israel and attacking shipping lanes, in what the group says is solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war.
Most of the dozens of missiles and drones they have launched have been intercepted or fallen short. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes.
