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

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