A ballistic missile launched at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses, the military said Sunday, in what has recently become an almost daily occurrence.
The missile set off sirens shortly after 4:50 p.m. across central Israel, the Jerusalem area and several West Bank settlements, sending millions to bomb shelters a few hours before the start of the Shavuot holiday.
Preceding the sirens by about four minutes, an early warning was issued by the Home Front Command to residents, alerting them of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones.
