Israel shoots down a missile fired from Yemen hours after a deadly Israeli strike on Houthi rebels

The Israeli military says it has intercepted a missile fired from Yemen. The interception early Sunday occurred after Israeli warplanes struck several Houthi rebel targets in Yemen. The Israeli airstrikes were launched in response to a deadly Houthi drone strike on Tel Aviv. They were the first time Israel is known to have responded to repeated Houthi attacks during its nine-month war against Hamas in Gaza. The violence between the distant enemies has threatened to open a new front as Israel battles Iranian proxies across the region. Yemen's health ministry says Israel's strikes killed six and wounded 83 others.
