Sirens were sounded on Friday evening, just after 10:30 p.m., in localities across central Israel, Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and the Shfela regions, following a launch from Yemen.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit confirmed that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF prior to crossing into Israeli territory.

Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol, it added.

Magen David Adom said that it had not received reports of injuries following the launch and the siren.

Following the launch from Yemen, Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily closed for arrivals and departures. It was fully reopened by 11:00 p.m.

On Thursday evening, a missile launched from Yemen set off sirens in Jerusalem and central Israel.

The IDF said that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF prior to crossing into Israeli territory. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.

A similar incident occurred early Thursday morning, at around 4:00 a.m., when a missile fired from Yemen set off sirens in central Israel, the Shfela region, and in Jerusalem and the surrounding area.

The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said that a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF prior to crossing into Israeli territory.

The Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for launching the missile toward Israel, asserting they fired a missile at Ben Gurion Airport.

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said the attack was carried out in response to "massacres against our brothers in the Gaza Strip."

Nasruddin Amer, a senior Houthi official, wrote a post on social media site X after the rebels launched the missile toward Israel.

"Residents of Gaza, you are not alone; Allah is with you, and we are with you. Victory comes only from Allah," Amer wrote, sharing a screenshot of a map showing where sirens were heard across the country.
