A cruise missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen at Israel this morning was successfully intercepted, according to the IDF.

No sirens sounded in Israel as no towns were under any threat.

The cruise missile was fired several hours after the Houthis launched a ballistic missile at southern Israel, which was also downed, the military says.
