The Israeli military said Wednesday it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, where Huthi rebels have regularly launched attacks they say are in response to Israel’s offensive in Gaza.<\/p>\n
“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF,” Israel’s army said on Telegram, referring to the air force.<\/p>\n
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the missile attack.<\/p>\n
But the Iran-backed Huthi rebels have repeatedly launched missiles and drones at Israel since their Palestinian ally Hamas’s October 2023 attack on Israel sparked the Gaza war.<\/p>\n
The Huthis, who say they are acting in support of the Palestinians, paused their attacks during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza that ended in March, but renewed them after Israel resumed major operations.<\/p>\n
Israel has carried out multiple retaliatory strikes in Yemen, targeting Huthi-held ports and the airport in the rebel-held capital Sanaa.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Israeli strikes in Sanaa killed at least six people and wounded more than 80, according to the Huthi-run Saba news agency.<\/p>\n
The Israeli army said it had hit a military compound near the presidential palace, two power stations and a fuel depot “in response” to Huthi attacks on its own territory.<\/p>\n
