The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen early Saturday, a day after the Houthi-held capital Sanaa was hit by fresh airstrikes. Sirens sounded in areas of Jerusalem and the Dead Sea on Saturday as "a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted ... prior to crossing into Israeli territory," the Israeli military said.

Israel launched a multi-wave attack across Yemen in retaliation for Houthi missile and drone strikes, the Israeli military confirmed Thursday.

World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was about to board a plane at the Sanaa International Airport when it came under attack. A crew member on the plane was injured, he said.
