JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said it intercepted a missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels on Sunday. The missile triggered air raid sirens in Jerusalem and other areas. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. The Iran-backed Houthishave launched repeated missile attacks targeting Israel as well as international shipping in the Red Sea, portraying it as a response to Israel's offensive against Hamasin the Gaza Strip. Most of the targeted ships had no relation to Israel or the conflict. The United Stateshalted a punishing bombing campaignagainst the Houthis earlier this month, saying the rebels had pledged to stop attacking ships. That informal ceasefire did not include attacks on Israel. ___ Follow AP's war coverage athttps://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war
