Israel's military said on Friday it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards Israeli territory, with sirens activated in several areas following the projectile.

A ceasefire deal between Yemen's Houthis and the U.S. does not include sparing Israel, the Iran-aligned group had said on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the U.S. would stop bombing the Houthis in Yemen, saying that the group had agreed to stop attacking U.S. ships.

The Houthis have attacked numerous vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade, in a campaign that they say is aimed at showing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. 

Israel has been fighting a war in Gaza since a deadly raid by Palestinian militant group Hamas into southern Israel in October 2023.
