A ballistic missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen at Israel a short while ago was intercepted by air defenses, the military says.
There are no immediate reports of impacts or injuries. Sirens had sounded in several towns in the southern Negev Desert area.
The attack comes hours after the IDF struck Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the Iran-backed group’s previous missile and drone fire on Israel.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched 82 ballistic missiles and at least 35 drones at Israel.
