JERUSALEM (Reuters) – The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had intercepted a projectile launched from Yemen that crossed into Israeli territory.
Sirens had earlier sounded in several areas of Israel.
The Iran-backed Houthi group has repeatedly fired drones and missiles towards Israel in what it has described as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The firing of the projectile came after Israel resumed airstrikes against targets in Gaza that killed more than 400 people, according to Palestinian health authorities, in an onslaught that ended weeks of relative calm after talks to secure a permanent ceasefire stalled.
