A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military says.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack. The IDF says the missile was shot down before crossing the country’s borders.

Sirens had sounded in Jerusalem and numerous surrounding towns, West Bank settlements, the Dead Sea area, and some parts of central Israel.

It marks the third Houthi attack on Israel in the past two days, and the second since early this morning.
