Israel intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Tuesday evening, according to the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). The missile, reportedly fired by Houthi forces, was destroyed before entering Israeli airspace. Residents in southern Israel witnessed the interception. The attack follows intensified Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which killed over 400 people in multiple areas, including Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, and Rafah. The escalation raises concerns about widening regional conflicts as tensions persist between Israel and various armed groups. The IDF has not disclosed further details on possible retaliatory measures against the Houthis in response to the attack.
