The ceasefire, approved by Israel and Hamas and set to take effect Sunday at 8:30 am local time (0630 GMT), includes an initial 42-day phase, during which more than 15 months of fighting in Gaza will halt, and 33 hostages held in Gaza will be released in exchange for the release of 735 Palestinian prisoners.

The Israeli military on Saturday said it intercepted a rocket from Yemen, one day before a ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group Hamas is set to take effect. Residents rushed to shelters as alerts sounded in Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel.

The leader of Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, said on Thursday his group will monitor the implementation of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas aimed at ending the 15-month war in Gaza and continue its attacks if it is breached.

SANAA - Yemen's Houthi group on Monday night took responsibility for launching a ballistic missile at the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
