The Iran-aligned Houthis claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attack, saying they fired a ballistic missile at Jaffa. Houthis have been firing at Israel and attacking shipping lanes, in what the group says is solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen toward Israel that triggered sirens in several areas in the country.

Sirens sounded in several Israeli cities, including Jerusalem, on Tuesday as the military said it identified and intercepted a projectile launched from Yemen, while AFP journalists reported hearing booms over Jerusalem.

Missile launch, the 66th by the Iran-backed rebels since Gaza truce ended in March, comes day after Israel targeted Houthi-controlled port The post IDF intercepts ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Houthis;
