Israel Intercepts Missile Launched by Yemen's Houthis
The Houthis, a group in Yemen, shot a missile at an airport in Israel, but Israel stopped it.
The Houthis have been attacking Israel and ships since late 2023 to support Palestinians.
These attacks have caused less traffic in the Red Sea.
There are also talks happening to try to stop the fighting in Gaza for two months, but Hamas and Israel can't agree on the terms.
The Houthis launched a ballistic missile towards Israel's Ben Gurion Airport.
Israel intercepted the missile after air raid sirens were activated.
The Houthis have targeted Israeli territory and shipping lanes since November 2023.
Traffic in the Red Sea has decreased due to the Houthis' attacks on ships.
Talks are ongoing for a potential 60-day truce in the Gaza war.
