Israel shot down a ballistic missile fired from Yemen, U.S. officials
say

Militants believed to be Houthi rebels fired a medium-range ballistic
missile from Yemen toward Israel on Tuesday, according to two U.S.
officials.

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces said the missile was
intercepted by Israel's Arrow air defense system, which was jointly
developed by Israel and the U.S. The IDF confirmed that a
surface-to-surface missile had been fired toward Israeli territory
from the direction of the Red Sea, but not did specify whether it had originated in Yemen.

The U.S. officials said the missile, which had a range of 2,000
kilometers (about 1,240 miles) or more, did not threaten U.S. Navy
ships in the Red Sea or U.S. troops or personnel in the area.

What is Israel's Iron Dome missile system and how does it work?

The US has said it will reinforce Israel's anti-rocket defence by
handing over two of the Iron Dome batteries that it operates in
Israel.

It will also supply a battery of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
(THAAD) missiles and batteries of Patriot missiles.
