Israel intercepts missile and drone from Yemen, treating injured and launching counterattacks in ongoing conflict.

Israel’s military says it intercepted a missile fired toward the country by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The attack set off sirens late Monday in central areas of Israel, including Tel Aviv.

Israel has severely weakened Hamas and Hezbollah. Now it's going after another member of Iran's so-called axis of resistance: the Houthi rebels of Yemen.

A missile launched from Yemen by Houthi rebels crossed into Israeli territory, prompting air raid sirens in Jerusalem and central Israel. The missile was successfully intercepted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) with fragments falling near Modiin.
