The Iran-backed Houthis have stepped up their missile attacks, in recent weeks. The group says the attacks are part of their campaign aimed at pressuring Israel and the West over the war in Gaza.

Yemen's Houthi group said in a statement on Saturday that it launched a ballistic missile earlier in the day targetting the Israeli Defence Ministry in Tel Aviv.

This will pause the fighting after 15 months of war and see the release of dozens of hostages held by the militants in the Gaza Strip and hundreds of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.

At least 15 people have been killed and over 67 seriously injured after an explosion at a fuel station in Yemen.

Yemen’s Houthi group reported Friday that the United States carried out five airstrikes targeting the northern Amran province. According to Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah TV, the "American aggression" focused on the Harf Sufyan district. The report gave no details about casualties or damage caused by the strikes.

SANAA - Yemen's Houthi group on Monday night took responsibility for launching a ballistic missile at the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.

The Israeli military on Saturday said it intercepted a rocket from Yemen, one day before a ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group Hamas is set to take effect. Residents rushed to shelters as alerts sounded in Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel.

Israel’s government voted in favour of the truce after the country’s security cabinet, chaired by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, agreed to the ceasefire and hostage deal earlier on Friday. The vote is believed to have been 24 in favour and eight against early on Saturday morning local time.
