Two ballistic missiles launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen were successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military says.

The IDF says the missiles were shot down before crossing the country’s borders.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack.

Sirens sounded across central Israel, in Jerusalem and numerous surrounding towns, as well as in several West Bank settlements.

It marks at least the seventh Houthi attack on Israel since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
