A Houthi missile launched from Yemen landed in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula overnight, not far from the coastal city of Sharm el-Sheikh.
The IDF is investigating whether the missile intended to target Israel, although so far is unable to verify this.
The incident comes as the US launched a large bombing campaign against the Houthis.
The Israeli Air Force last week had already raised its level of alert for potential Houthi attacks, as the Iran-backed terror group threatened to resume its missile and drone fire on Israel.
