Yemen’s Houthi militants on Monday claimed they launched a missile targeting Israel.
Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree made the claim in a prerecorded video message, claiming that the group launched a Palestine-2 ballistic missile he described as a “hypersonic” toward a military base.
The Israeli military said it “intercepted one projectile that approached Israel from the direction of Yemen.” The Israelis also said the fire did not enter Israeli territory.
The Houthis have launched missiles and targeted ships through the Red Sea corridor over the ongoing Mideast wars. The militants separately said sites in the country came under attack in likely US airstrikes early Monday morning, something not immediately acknowledged by the Americans.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Monday Israeli forces killed two people, including a 13-year-old, in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli military said the two had thrown explosives at forces overnight near the Palestinian town of Yabad and that the forces had responded by opening fire.

The Health Ministry identified the two as Mohammed Hamarsheh, 13, and Ahmad Zayd, 20. It did not disclose details about the circumstances behind their deaths.

It was the latest bloodshed in the West Bank, which has faced a surge of violence throughout the 13-month war in Gaza. The Health Ministry says nearly 800 people have been killed, with more than 160 of them 18 and younger.

Many have been killed in fighting with the Israeli military, but Palestinians throwing rocks and others not involved in confrontations have also been killed. There has also been an increase in Palestinian attacks against Israelis in the West Bank since the war in Gaza began.
