Israel’s military said it had intercepted a surface-to-surface missile headed for the Red Sea resort town of Eilat early on Sunday. Yemen’s Houthi rebels later confirmed they had targeted the city with multiple ballistic missiles to avenge Israeli air strikes on the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah the day before that killed at least six people and injured more than 80 more.
