IDF says it downed drone from Yemen, hours after ballistic missile interception

A drone launched at Israel from Yemen a short while ago was successfully intercepted by the Israeli Air Force, the military says.

According to the IDF, the drone was shot down outside of Israel’s borders, and therefore no sirens sounded.

The drone attack comes hours after the Houthis in Yemen launched a ballistic missile at Israel, which the IDF said was also intercepted, although fragments fell in the Modiin area.
