Police say that they have received reports of debris and shrapnel from the intercepted missile fired from Yemen that fell in the Jerusalem area.

Police say some fragments fell in an open area near Moshav Bar Giora, while other pieces fell near a gas station next to Mevo Beitar.

Hebrew media also report that a large part of the missile fell in a field near Beitar Ilit.

There are no immediate reports of injury or damage.

Police urge the public not to touch the fragments and say that sappers are working at the scene to remove them. Police are also carrying out searches for further debris.

Earlier in the week, a large chunk of a Houthi missile fell on a house in Mevo Beitar.
