It said two drones from Yemen were intercepted early Monday but gave no ‌further details.

Yemen’s Houthi militia entered the war on Saturday, firing missiles at Israel, escalating a conflict that has engulfed the Middle East.

Israeli strikes

Israel’s military also said the air force was carrying out strikes on Tehran on Monday, targeting what it described as military infrastructure.

Israel’s military said it had launched over 140 air strikes on central and western Iran, including Tehran, over the 24 hours to Sunday evening, hitting ballistic missile ​launch sites and storage facilities, among other targets.

Iranian state media reported strikes had hit Mehrabad airport and a petrochemical plant in the northern city of Tabriz.

Four weeks of intense US-Israeli bombardment have failed to silence Iran’s missile and ​drone batteries, with Kuwait on Monday reporting it had intercepted five drones in areas under its protection.

A chemical plant in southern Israel near the city of Beersheba was hit by an Iranian missile or missile debris on Sunday as Israel fended off multiple salvos ‌from Iran.
