The IDF identified the launch of a missile from Yemen toward Israeli territory, and aerial defense systems are operating to intercept the threat, the military confirmed on Friday morning.
Minutes after the statements from the IDF and Home Front Command, rocket alert sirens sounded in multiple areas across Israel, as previously warned by the military.
Following the alerts, the IDF stated, "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile was launched from Yemen."
"An interceptor was launched toward the missile, and the results of the interception are under review. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol," the military added.
According to Magen David Adom, "no calls were received about casualties, except for one case of a man who was injured on the way to a protected area."
