A drone launched from Yemen struck an open area near the southern coastal city of Ashkelon a short while ago, the military says.
There are no reports of injuries or major damage in the attack.
Sirens had sounded in Ashkelon and surrounding communities near the Gaza Strip.
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen in recent days have ramped up ballistic missile and drone attacks on Israel, in what they say is support for Hamas amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
