Israel’s military intercepted a missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels early Thursday, the second to target Israel since the collapse of the Gaza ceasefire, as the United States’ intensifies airstrikes against the Iran-backed militant group.

It fired a missile toward the Negev on Wednesday. It also targeted the Egyptian Sinai throughout the week.What is it looking to do? It wants to show it still has some capabilities and is seeking to call what it may think is a bluff by the Trump administration.

Yemen's Houthi group has claimed responsibility for a missile fired into Israel, which was intercepted. The ballistic missile was fired toward Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, the group's military spokesperson said in a televised statement.
