Israeli military says it intercepted missile from Yemen; Houthis claim responsibility
CAIRO, May 25 (Reuters) - The Israeli military said on Sunday that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards Israel in an attack by Yemen's Houthis.
Sirens sounded in several areas in the country, the Israeli military said earlier.
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have continued to fire missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Most of the group's missiles have been intercepted or have fallen short.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group was responsible for Sunday's attack, adding that it fired a missile towards Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv.
U.S. President Donald Trump announced this month that the U.S. would stop bombing the Houthis in Yemen because the group had agreed to stop attacking U.S. ships under an Oman-mediated ceasefire deal. However, the accord did not include Israel.
