Following investigations by the Israeli Air Force and Home Front Command, the IDF says the ballistic missile launched from Yemen overnight was successfully intercepted by air defenses.

A large fragment of the Houthi missile landed on the roof of a home in Mevo Beitar, causing damage. The military says it identified additional shrapnel impacts in Tzur Hadassah and Beitar Illit, with no major damage. All of these are in the Jerusalem area.
