In a high-stakes exchange, the Israeli military successfully intercepted a missile launched from Yemen late Tuesday, in a move claimed by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militia.

The missile, aimed at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, ties into the broader regional conflict involving Iranian-backed groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
