Israel shoots down missile heading to it in 1st Houthi attack since Yemen port strike

The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen early Sunday, hours after Israeli warplanes struck several Houthi targets in the Arabian peninsula country.

The Israeli airstrikes in response to a deadly Houthi drone strike on Tel Aviv were the first time Israel is known to have responded to repeated Houthi attacks throughout its nine-month war against Hamas.

The burst of violence between the distant enemies has threatened to open a new front as Israel battles a series of Iranian proxies across the region.
