Israel claims intercepting a missile fired from Yemen [GEO.TV] Israeli air defences intercepted a surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen on Sunday, the military said, and Yemen's Houthi movement said it had targeted the Israeli Red Sea city of Eilat with multiple missiles.
The Israeli military said its Arrow 3 missile defence system had shot down the projectile before it crossed into Israeli territory.
Before the interception, air raid sirens had sounded in Eilat, sending residents running for shelter.
The latest exchange between Israel and Houthis followed a strike on Saturday by Israeli fighter jets on Houthi military targets near Yemen's Hodeidah port that killed at least three people and wounded 87.

Yemen reports four airstrikes in Hodeida province
The United States and Great Britain carried out four airstrikes on July 21 in the province of Hodeida in western Yemen. This was reported by the Yemeni TV channel Al Masirah.
The TV channel's report clarified that the strike was carried out on the Ras Isa area in the As-Salif district.
The day before, it was reported that Israel had carried out direct airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen for the first time. The Israeli Air Force attacked fuel depots in the port city of Hodeida in western Yemen. According to Al Arabiya TV channel, 12 Israeli warplanes carried out the strike. Among them were F-35s.
The attack on Yemen's Hodeida port was a direct response to the Houthi drone strike on Tel Aviv and hundreds of other attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Israel will defend itself by any means necessary, he added.
Yemen's Houthis have vowed to respond to IDF airstrikes on Hodeida. The Ansar Allah movement's Supreme Political Council stressed that Israel's attack will only strengthen Yemeni support for the Palestinians.
The United Nations (UN) expressed deep concern over the Israeli air strike on Hodeida in western Yemen. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on the parties to exercise maximum restraint and avoid harm to civilians and infrastructure.
