Missile launched from Yemen falls in central Israel, no casualties

A missile fired from Yemen landed in central Israel on Friday evening without causing casualties, the Israeli military and emergency services said.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the missile appeared to have fragmented in midair, with shrapnel falling near Ben Gurion Airport, according to Channel



12 News. Air raid sirens sounded across central Israel, including Tel Aviv and West Jerusalem, after smartphone alerts were issued.

The launch came hours after Israel said it intercepted a drone fired from Yemen toward villages near the Gaza Strip. No damage or casualties were reported in that incident.
