A surface-to-surface missile fired from Yemen caused Red Alert sirens to be activated throughout central Israel on Monday evening.

Sirens were activated in Lod, Ramle, Petah Tikva, Ben Gurion Airport, Rishon Letzion, and many other localities as a result of the missile attack.

The missile was intercepted by Israel's air defense systems. There are currently no reports of injuries.

Echoes of explosions were heard in Jerusalem as well as much of central Israel.

The attack comes on the first anniversary of the Hamas massacre of October 7, 2023, when 1,200 people were murdered and 250 taken captive to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
