A drone launched at Israel by the Houthis in Yemen was intercepted over southern Israel a short while ago, the IDF says.

The drone set off sirens in several communities near the borders with the Gaza Strip and Egypt. The military says it made several attempts to shoot it down before successfully intercepting it.

There are no reports of damage or injuries in the incident.
