Israel intercepted a missile launched by Yemen's Houthi militia on Tuesday, shortly after it thwarted a drone attack near Israel's southernmost Red Sea city of Eilat, which the Yemeni group has also claimed responsibility for.
Israel Defense Forces Spokesman Daniel Hagari confirmed on the social media platform X that a surface-to-surface missile was fired toward Israeli territory from the Red Sea and was successfully intercepted by the long-range anti-missile Arrow system.
Earlier in the day, Israel intercepted a drone over the Red Sea that triggered air raid sirens in Eilat.
Both the drone and the missile were "intercepted outside Israeli territory. No infiltrations were identified," Hagari noted.
