  • Story Text: The Israeli military said on Sunday (March 23) it had intercepted a projectile launched from Yemen before it crossed into Israeli territory, as escalation between Israel and the Iran-aligned Houthis continue.
    Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv as residents were seen running for cover at around 07:25am (0525GMT) local time.
    There was no immediate comment from the Houthis on the incident.
    On Friday (March 21), the Houthis claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile fired toward Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, which the Israeli military said it intercepted.
    The group recently vowed to escalate attacks, including those targeting Israel, in response to U.S. strikes earlier this month, which amount to the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January. The U.S. attacks have killed at least 50 people.
    The Houthis are part of what has been dubbed the "Axis of Resistance" - an anti-Israel and anti-Western alliance of regional militias including Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah and armed groups in Iraq, all backed by Iran.
