A surface-to-surface missile, believed to have been launched from Yemen at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat, was intercepted over the Red Sea.
The Israel Defense Forces says the long-range Arrow air defense system was used to shoot down the missile.
Sirens sounded in Eilat, though the IDF says the missile did not enter Israeli airspace.
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have fired several ballistic missiles and drones at the city in recent weeks, all of which were intercepted or missed their target.
