The IDF says the ballistic missile launched from Yemen at Israel was successfully intercepted by Israeli air defenses.

Sirens sounded across central Israel amid fears of falling shrapnel.

The missile was shot down with the Arrow long-range missile defense system, which is designed to take out ballistic missiles while they are still outside the atmosphere.
