FORCES of the Houthi-led Yemeni government fired a missile towards Israel early today, hours after Israel carried out a wave of air strikes on Yemen’s main airport.

The Israeli military claimed the Yemeni missile was intercepted by its air defences before it entered Israeli territory. Air raid sirens were set off in several areas in central Israel.

A day earlier, a wave of Israeli air strikes hit Yemen’s main airport outside the capital Sanaa, killing three people and wounding dozens of others, according to the United Nations.
