Israel intercepts missile from Yemen's Houthis

Jerusalem, May 25 (UNI) Israel's aerial defense systems on Sunday intercepted a missile launched by Houthi forces in Yemen, the Israeli military said in a statement.
The missile triggered air raid sirens in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea area and settlements in the occupied West Bank, sending millions to shelters around midday.
Israel's Magen David Adom rescue service reported no casualties.
Despite pledging to halt attacks on US vessels, the Houthi forces in Yemen continue to target Israel, citing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
In response, Israel has carried out a series of airstrikes in Yemen, including one earlier this month in the capital Sanaa, which caused multiple fatalities and damaged the main international airport.
