Israeli air defense systems intercepted a Houthi missile launched toward Israel over the Red Sea area on Tuesday, the IDF spokesperson said.
Previously, sirens had sounded in the southern Israeli city of Eilat, but the target was brought down by Israel's long range Arrow missile defense system before crossing into Israeli territory.
On Tuesday, Yemen's Houthi leader said his forces would continue to conduct attacks on Israel and that they could target Israeli ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
