Israel intercepts missile fired by Houthis

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile early on Sunday toward Israel, which the Israeli military said it shot down as US strikes in the Houthi-held capital of Sanaa killed two people.

Sirens sounded in parts of Israel around the Dead Sea. The military said “the missile was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory.”

Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed the attack, saying the rebels targeted Israel's Nevatim air base with what he identified as a hypersonic missile.

American airstrikes, meanwhile, continued targeting the Houthis overnight into Sunday, part of an intense campaign against the rebels that began on March 15.

The Houthi-run Health Ministry said besides the two killed on Sunday, 10 people, including two women and three children, were wounded in Sanaa.
