The Magen David Adom rescue service says its medics treated five people who were lightly injured while running for cover when sirens went off during a missile attack from Yemen.
Sirens sounded across a wide swath of central Israel and the injuries took place in Tel Aviv, Petah Tikvah, Kfar Saba, Holon and at the Em Hamoshavot junction.
The injured were taken to hospital for treatment, MDA says.
The IDF says it shot down the missile before it entered Israeli air space.
Hebrew media reports say shrapnel from the interceptor fell in the northern West Bank and did not cause any injuries.
