Sirens blare in Israel as military intercepts missile from Yemen
The Israeli military says a missile fired from Yemen has set off air raid sirens in northern Israel, including Haifa, Kiryat Ata and the Western Galilee.
It said it activated air defences and that the missile was “apparently successfully intercepted”.
The Houthi rebels, who control most of Yemen, have claimed several missile attacks on Israel, including on the main Ben Gurion international airport, in a campaign it says is in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
US forces continue to bomb Yemen
The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV is reporting more US raids on Yemen.
It said there were three attacks on the central province of Marib and four in the southwestern province of Taiz targeting the communications network in the al-Barh area of Maqbanah district. Earlier in the morning, the channel reported four raids on the international airport in the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah and four on the northern Saada province.
The US launched the bombing campaign in Yemen on March 16 after the Houthis, who control most of the impoverished country, threatened to resume attacks on Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea. The US attacks have killed hundreds of Yemenis, including women and children.
Houthis claim attack on Israel
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Yemeni rebel group says that its fighters launched a ballistic missile and a drone at the areas of Haifa and Jaffa in Israel.
“We will not back down from our duties to support the Palestinians until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted,” the Houthi spokesperson said.
Israeli drone returns to the skies of Beirut
The threatening buzz of an Israeli surveillance drone could be heard by residents of the Lebanese capital this morning.
Israeli drones have made several appearances over Beirut in the past week, and yesterday, a drone attack killed a member of al-Jamaa al-Islamiya’s armed wing in Baawerta, about 20km (12.5 miles) south of Beirut.
