Israel’s military on Friday said it had identified the launch of a missile from Yemen towards Israeli territory, and aerial defence systems were operating to intercept the threat.
The military added that alarms were activated in several areas.
It had earlier said on Friday that it intercepted another missile launched from Yemen.
Yemen’s Iran-allied Houthis claimed responsibility for that launch, saying they had targeted the Ramat David air base in northern Israel.
According to the Houthis, their attacks on Israel and on Red Sea shipping are in solidarity with the Palestinians under attack by Israel in the Gaza Strip.
They pledged to expand their range of targets in Israel in retaliation for a renewed onslaught in Gaza that began two months ago.
