The ballistic missile launched from Iran in the latest attack on northern Israel was likely intercepted, according to initial military assessments.
There are no reports of direct impacts or injuries in the attack, the fourth since midnight, medics say. Sirens had sounded across northern Israel.
The IDF Home Front Command says civilians in areas where sirens sounded can now leave bomb shelters.
