A ballistic missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen at Israel early Sunday morning was intercepted by air defenses, the military said. The missile set off sirens in central Israel, some southern West Bank settlements, and communities near the Dead Sea at around 5 a.m., sending hundreds of thousands of Israelis rushing to bomb shelters.

The Israel Defense Forces shortly after announced that the missile had been downed. There were no reports of damage or injuries in the attack.
