Air raid sirens sound in Israel after a missile attack from Yemen

Early Thursday, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace, the Israeli military said.

Air raid sirens and several explosions were heard in Jerusalem, apparently the sounds of the interceptors in use. No injuries were reported. Yemen’s Houthi rebels did not immediately claim the attack Thursday morning.

Within Israel, the resumption of airstrikes and ground maneuvers in Gaza has raised concerns about the fate of roughly two dozen hostages held by Hamas who are believed to still be alive. Thousands of Israelis took part in anti-government demonstrations in Jerusalem, with many calling for a deal to bring the captives home.
