Yemen's Houthi group has claimed responsibility for a missile fired into Israel, which was intercepted. The ballistic missile was fired toward Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, the group's military spokesperson said in a televised statement.

Israeli forces carried out their most intense wave of airstrikes since the January ceasefire, killing hundreds, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

Israel pounded Gaza overnight, killing dozens of Palestinians, a day after launching a fresh ground campaign as part of its renewed assault on the territory that shattered the two-month-old ceasefire with Hamas.
