A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military says.

The IDF says the missile was shot down before crossing the country’s borders.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack.

Sirens had sounded across central Israel, in several towns near Jerusalem, and in some West Bank settlements.

It marks at least the eighth Houthi attack on Israel since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
