Israeli military intercepts missile from Yemen
Forces in Yemen launched a missile toward central Israel, triggering sirens in Tel Aviv and other cities, Israel's military said.
At least 35 Houthi rebels were killed when Saudi-led airstrikes hit Houthi reinforcements in Yemen’s central province of Marib, a government military source said.
“The airstrikes targeted four convoys of the rebel reinforcements in and around the western Sirwah district, destroying 13 pick-up vehicles and killing 35 Houthis rebels,” the source told Xinhua news agency on Monday.

Sirwah is a main frontline between the rebels and the Yemeni army in Marib.
The Iran-backed Houthi militia launched in February a major offensive on Marib in an attempt to seize control of the oil-rich province, the last northern stronghold of the Saudi-backed Yemeni government.
