Israel intercepts Houthi missile and warning is issued for faulty Boeing parts - Trending



Trending Middle East brings you the latest social media and search trends from the region and around the world. Here are today's headlines.

Israel says it has intercepted a missile fired from Yemen towards Tel Aviv. It was intercepted outside Israeli territory, the military said in a statement.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebels have launched attacks at Israel repeatedly since the start of the Gaza war on October 7, with the group saying it is acting in solidarity with Palestine.

Meanwhile, the US National Transportation Safety Board has issued a warning concerning faulty parts on some Boeing 737s. The alert includes the 737 MAX and says critical flight controls could jam.

It is the latest blow to Boeing, which has experienced a series of issues this year, including a mid-air door-plug blowout. About 33,000 workers also began a strike this month.

Gazan journalist Bisan Owda has won an Emmy for her coverage from the enclave during the war.

The win recognises It’s Bisan from Gaza – and I’m Still Alive, a documentary project by Al Jazeera’s AJ+. It follows an attempt by a pro-Israel non-profit organisation to pressure the awarding body to rescind Owda’s nomination.
