A missile launched from Yemen on Sunday afternoon triggered air raid sirens across central Israel and the Jerusalem area, the IDF said.
The military said its air defense systems engaged the incoming projectile after warning sirens sounded in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other parts of central Israel, sending residents scrambling for shelter. The military did not immediately confirm whether the missile had been intercepted or landed in Israeli territory.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
