Air defenses intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Israel by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen early on Sunday evening, according to the military.
The Houthis claimed to have fired two missiles in the attack, one targeting the Sdot Micha Airbase — where according to foreign reports Israel holds nuclear-capable Jericho missiles — and the other aimed at Ben Gurion Airport.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that only one missile reached Israel, and was successfully intercepted by air defenses. The second likely fell short, similar to numerous other recent Houthi attacks.
