Israel said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen on Tuesday, after air raid sirens sounded in several areas in Israel's south.
Sirens went off in Beersheba and parts of the Negev desert, according to the Israeli military's Home Front Command.
A military statement later said that "a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF (air force) prior to crossing into Israeli territory."

Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels, who have targeted Israel before, condemned the resumption of strikes on Gaza on Tuesday, vowing escalation in support of Palestinians after threatening earlier this month to attack Israeli ships in the Red Sea.
The wave of Israeli strikes, by far the deadliest since the truce took effect, killed more than 400 people across the Gaza Strip, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run territory.
The Huthis' supreme political council condemned in a statement "the Zionist enemy's resumption of aggression against the Gaza Strip".
"The Palestinian people will not be left alone in this battle, and Yemen will continue its support and assistance, and escalate confrontation steps," it added.

US strikes killed "multiple" Houthi leaders in Yemen, the White House said Sunday (March 16).
The attack was described as a strong response to the group's continued assaults on Red Sea shipping, with Washington also warning Iran to cease its support for the rebels.
Speaking to ABC News, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz stated, &ldquo;These were not kind of pinprick, back and forth -- what ultimately proved to be feckless attacks.&rdquo;

He added that the strikes were a significant escalation, saying, &ldquo;This was an overwhelming response that actually targeted multiple Houthi leaders and took them out. And the difference here is, one, going after the Houthi leadership, and two, holding Iran responsible.&rdquo;
"It is Iran that has repeatedly funded, resourced, trained, and helped the Houthis target not only US warships, but global commerce, and has helped the Houthis shut down two of the world's most strategic sea lanes," Waltz added.
In a separate interview with Fox News, Waltz reiterated the message to Tehran, declaring, &ldquo;We just hit them with overwhelming force and put Iran on notice that enough is enough.&rdquo;
<h2>Trump&rsquo;s warning to Iran</h2>
President Donald Trump on Saturday announced the military action, calling it a "decisive step" against the Houthis. A Houthi health official later reported that the airstrikes had resulted in 31 deaths.
Trump also delivered a stern warning to Iran, stating, &ldquo;To Iran: Support for the Houthi terrorists must end IMMEDIATELY!

Iran&rsquo;s Revolutionary Guards chief, Hossein Salami, dismissed Trump&rsquo;s threats, saying, &ldquo;Iran will not wage war, but if anyone threatens, it will give appropriate, decisive and conclusive responses.&rdquo;
Salami also defended the Houthis, referring to them as &ldquo;the representative of the Yemenis&rdquo; and asserting that they make their own &ldquo;strategic and operational decisions&rdquo; independently.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reinstate the "foreign terrorist organisation" designation for Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels, the White House announced on Wednesday (Jan 22).
Former president Joe Biden had lifted that label when he took over the White House from Trump in 2021, before calling them a "specially designated global terrorist" entity, a slightly less severe classification that still allowed for humanitarian aid to reach the war-torn country.
<h2 dir="ltr">Humanitarian organisations' concerns influenced Biden&rsquo;s decision</h2>
Biden's decision was shaped by concerns from humanitarian organisations, who warned that they would have to pull out of Yemen if the US didn't adjust its approach. The issue was that these organisations had to work with the Houthi rebels, who control much of the country, including the capital Sanaa.&nbsp;

The recent move grants the US government additional sanctions authority, giving Trump more tools to go after the Iran-backed Yemeni terror group.

The Houthis, who control most of Yemen, have carried out over 100 attacks on ships in the Red Sea since November 2023. They claim these actions are in solidarity with Palestinians amidst Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza. They have sunk two vessels, seized another, and caused the deaths of at least four seafarers.
The attacks have disrupted global shipping, compelling companies to redirect their routes through longer and costlier journeys around southern Africa for over a year.
