The IDF confirms that a ballistic missile launched at Israel from Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses.

The military says the missile was shot down before reaching Israeli territory.

Sirens had sounded in the town of Talmei Elazar, close to Hadera, amid the incident.

The IDF says the sirens were activated there “according to protocol.”

Unlike previous Houthi attacks, sirens were not triggered across wide areas of the country, apparently indicating that fragments from the interception had not been projected to reach Israel.
