The Israeli military has said that sirens sounded in numerous areas in central Israel after a missile was launched from Yemen, Reuters reports.
The missile was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, it added. There were no reports of casualties.
Earlier this week, Yemen’s Houthi fighters said they fired a ballistic missile at a military target in Jaffa, a city in central Israel.
The group in Yemen has repeatedly fired drones and missiles towards Israel in what it describes as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
