Air raid sirens have sounded in central Jerusalem and other parts of Israel after a missile launch from Yemen, the Israeli army announced.
According to news agency Associated Press, the launch came hours after Israel said it intercepted another missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebel group. The Iranian-backed Houthis resumed attacks on Israel this week following the collapse of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Earlier, Israeli strikes killed at least 85 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip overnight and into Thursday. Hours later, Hamas fired three rockets at Israel without causing casualties.
The Israeli military ordered people to evacuate an area in central Gaza near Khan Younis, saying it would operate there in response to rocket fire from Hamas.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military restored a blockade on northern Gaza, including Gaza City, that it had maintained for most of the war. It warned residents against using the main highway to enter or leave the north and said only passage to the south would be allowed on the coastal road.
