A drone launched by the Houthis in Yemen was intercepted by Israeli air defenses near Ramon Airport in southern Israel, the military says.
Sirens had sounded in the adjacent town of Be’er Ora as a result of the drone and due to fears of falling fragments after Iron Dome interceptor missiles shot down the drone.
Last week, a drone launched by Yemen’s Houthis evaded air defenses and smashed into the Ramon Airport terminal.
