The Houthi rebels in Yemen claim responsibility for launching a missile at a base in the Negev.

The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, announces that the rebel group fired a missile last night toward the Nevatim air base in the Negev.

The IDF announced overnight that one missile from Yemen was intercepted before it crossed into Israeli territory and after it triggered sirens in the Arava region and the Dead Sea area.
