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.

The latest round of strikes occurred as the United States and its ally Israel struggle to halt a campaign of regional assaults by Yemen’s Houthi militants.

Gaza Yemen’s Houthis are preparing for a long confrontation with Israel and the US, which would continue even if the current fighting stopped after a ceasefire is agreed on in Gaza, sources familiar with the rebels' plans have told The National.
