The IDF says the surface-to-surface ballistic missile launched at central Israel from Yemen was shot down by air defenses “outside of the country’s borders.”
The missile was shot down with the Arrow long-range missile defense system, which is designed to take out ballistic missiles.
Sirens sounded across central Israel due to fears of falling shrapnel following the interception.
