The Israeli military said on Wednesday that it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards its territory.

The launch coincides with US President Donald Trump's visit to the Gulf. Trump has announced that he reached a ceasefire with Yemen's Houthis that will halt attacks on US vessels.

Trump announced early in May that the US would stop bombing the Houthis in Yemen as the group had agreed to stop attacking US ships.

The Houthis said they will continue to fire missiles and drones towards Israel.

The Houthis have attacked numerous vessels in the Red Sea, disrupting global trade, in a campaign that they say is aimed at showing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday Türkiye will not allow Syria to be divided or its multicultural structure and territorial integrity harmed, after Israel's actions sought to "sabotage" a ceasefire in the country.

Speaking after a cabinet meeting, he said Israel's actions show it does not want peace.

Earlier, Erdogan and Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa discussed Israel's attacks on Damascus in a phone call, Türkiye's presidency said, adding Erdogan had voiced support for Damascus.

The presidency said Erdogan told Sharaa that Israel's attacks were unacceptable and a threat to the entire region, and Ankara welcomed a ceasefire reached with Syria's Druze.

Sharaa thanked Erdogan for Türkiye's support in protecting Syria's territorial integrity and sovereignty, it added.
