The IDF says one ballistic missile launched at Israel from Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses.
Sirens had sounded in the southernmost city of Eilat and nearby towns.
There are no immediate reports of injuries or major damage.
It marks the second Houthi attack today after a missile fired earlier at central Israel was shot down.
