Israeli military says intercepted missile launched from Yemen
Sirens were activated across several areas in Israel in accordance with protocol, it said.
Israel threatened Yemen's Houthi movement with a naval and air blockade if the Iran-aligned group persists with attacks on Israel, in what it says is solidarity with Gaza.
Since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis have been firing at Israel and at shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade.
Most of the dozens of missiles and drones they have launched have been intercepted or fallen short. Israel has carried out a series of retaliatory strikes.

Stopped a lot of fights: Trump
Washington: United States President Donald Trump once again reiterated his claim of brokering a truce between India and Pakistan on Monday, stating that his administration's diplomatic efforts helped avert a potential war between the two countries. While speaking to reporters as he hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump emphasised he had warned both nations that he would not engage in trade deals if they continued to fight. 'We stopped a lot of fights, very, very big one was India and Pakistan." "We stopped that over trade,' Trump said. 'We are dealing with India and Pakistan. We said that we are not going to be dealing with you at all if you are gonna fight. They were maybe at a nuclear stage… Stopping that was really important,' he added. Trump's claims came as Netanyahu nominated the US President for the Nobel Peace Prize, an honour the American leader has long coveted after one of his predecessors, Barack Obama, received it in 2009. Netanyahu handed a copy of the nomination letter to Trump during their dinner at the White House and said, 'The President has already realised great opportunities. He forged the Abraham Accords. He's forging peace as we speak in one country, in one region after the other. So, I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee. It's nominating you for the Peace Prize, which is well deserved, and you should get it.' Trump, who appeared to be surprised by the nomination, thanked the Israeli Prime Minister and said that he wasn't aware of it. 'Thank you very much. This I did not know. Wow, thank you very much. Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful,' said Trump.

Gaza truce may take more time: Official
Israeli officials said Tuesday gaps can be bridged between Israel and Hamas at peace talks in Qatar, though it may take more than a few days to reach a deal to free hostages and halt fighting. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Delegations from Israel and Hamas have been in Qatar since Sunday for an agreement, after US President Trump said last week he had hope a new USbacked proposal could lead to a deal. A Qatari spokesperson said mediators were not yet discussing a final ceasefire deal, but still seeking agreement on a framework of principles that would lead to more detailed talks.
