The Israeli Air Force on Sunday morning intercepted a missile launched from Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen.

The projectile was downed before it crossed into Israeli territory, the IDF said. No air-raid sirens were triggered, as the missile did not pose an immediate threat to populated areas.

Last Sunday, a ballistic missile fired from Yemen triggered sirens in the Judean Foothills, a region known in Hebrew as the Shfela. The missile was intercepted by the Arrow defense system before entering Israeli airspace.
