The US military said on Monday it conducted an airstrike in Syria that killed two ISIS operatives and wounded one.

ISIS operatives were moving a truckload of weapons in Deir Ezzor Province, when they were targeted with the airstrike, US Central Command said in a statement on social media platform X.

Central Command said the area was formerly controlled by ex-President Bashar Assad’s regime and its Russian supporters.

Assad fled to Moscow after opposition forces seized control of Damascus earlier this month.

Israel's military intercepted a missile early on Wednesday that was launched from Yemen and crossed into Israeli territory, the army said.
Sirens were activated due to the possibility of falling shrapnel from the interception, the army said in a statement.
Magen David Adom ambulance service said in a statement that it had received reports of approximately nine people injured on their way to the protected area.
"For the 5th time in a week, millions of Israelis were sent to shelter as Houthi terrorists in Yemen launched a missile attack," the Israeli military said in a post on X.
The Iran-backed Houthi group has repeatedly fired drones and missiles towards Israel in what it has described as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
