A ballistic missile launched at Israel from Yemen a short while ago was intercepted by air defenses, the military says, marking the second such incident in hours.

No sirens were activated “according to protocol,” the IDF says, as no towns were under any threat.

Earlier this morning, a missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen set off sirens in the West Bank. It was also shot down, according to the IDF.
