A drone launched from Yemen at Israel was shot down by the Israeli Air Force earlier today, the IDF says.

No sirens sounded, “according to protocol,” the military adds.

The attempted drone attack came hours after the Houthis in Yemen launched two ballistic missiles at Israel overnight, in the second attack in as many nights.

The IDF conducted airstrikes overnight in response to previous attacks by the Iran-backed group, which also sunk a ship in the Red Sea on Sunday.
