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 in Beersheba and the surrounding area in southern Israel. An early alert warning was issued to a much wider area.
