JERUSALEM, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Israel's military announced on Sunday that it intercepted three drones flown from Yemen.

"The Israel Air Force intercepted three UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) that made their way from Yemen," the military said in a statement, adding that they were intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

The Houthi movement, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been launching missiles and drones at Israel since November 2023, saying the attacks are in support of Palestinians in the Gaza war. Israel has responded with strikes on Houthi-controlled areas, including Sanaa and the Red Sea port of Hodeidah.

Earlier in the morning, two rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip toward southern Israel, triggering warning sirens in Netivot and nearby communities.

The military said the two projectiles, one intercepted and the other landing in an open area, came from central Gaza. ■
