Israel’s military said Yemen launched a missile towards Israel early on Saturday morning, the first time it had faced fire from that country.

Sirens went off around Beer Sheba and the area near Israel’s main nuclear research centre for the third time overnight on Friday into Saturday as Iran and Hezbollah continued to fire on Israel.
