Sirens had sounded in the Jerusalem area and southern West Bank settlements. Preceding the sirens by about two minutes, an early warning was issued via the Home Front Command app.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis in Yemen have launched 49 ballistic missiles and at least 11 drones at Israel. Several of the missiles have fallen short.
