Yemen's Houthi rebels took responsibility for firing the long-range missile Thursday evening, which Israel's military says was intercepted as air-raid sirens sounded in parts of the country. There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. Israel halted a national soccer championship match in Tel Aviv due to the Houthi missile attack, which came as the tempo of negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza has increased. The Houthis have targeted Israel throughout the war in Gaza in solidarity with Palestinians. The Houthi missiles have mostly been intercepted, although some have penetrated Israel's missile defense systems, causing casualties and damage. Palestinian militants were once firing volleys of rockets each day out of Gaza, but that dwindled to nearly zero over the course of the 19-month war.
