After sirens, IDF says it shot down missile from Yemen using Arrow air defense system

The IDF says it shot down a surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen using the long-range Arrow air defense system after sirens were activated across central Israel.

The warning alerts were triggered due to the interception and concerns about falling shrapnel, according to the military, which adds that the missile was shot down “outside the country’s borders.”

The Israel Defense Forces also says that there are no new instructions from the Home Front Command following the attack.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service meanwhile says that it hasn’t yet received reports of injuries aside from several people suffering from anxiety or being hurt while running to bomb shelters.
