The IDF says that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted a short while ago by the Israeli Air Force after alarms sounded in several areas across the country.

Sirens sounded in the Jerusalem area and parts of the southern West Bank.

The military says the alerts were triggered in accordance with policy, even as reports emerge of sirens sounding in areas not covered by the Home Front Command’s early warning system via its official app.
