IDF: One missile fired from Yemen, intercepted outside Israeli airspace

The IDF says the alerts that sounded across central Israel, sending millions to bomb shelters in the middle of the night, were triggered by a single missile fired from Yemen.

The projectile was intercepted outside Israel’s airspace, and the alarms were activated for fear of falling debris, the military says.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says 18 people were lightly hurt while rushing to a bomb shelter, and two people suffered acute anxiety attacks.
