The IDF said on Friday morning that it has identified the launch of a missile from Yemen toward Israeli territory, and that aerial defense systems are operating to intercept the threat.
Moments later, sirens were sounded in Haifa, Wadi Ara and the Galilee regions of northern Israel.
The IDF said that "an interceptor was launched toward the missile and the results of the interception are under review. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol."
In a subsequent update, the IDF said that "the missile was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol."
Magen David Adom reported that no calls were received about casualties, except for one case of a man who was injured on the way to shelter.
Early Sunday morning, sirens were sounded in the Dead Sea and Arava regions following the firing of a missile from Yemen.
The IDF said, "Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in the areas of the Arava and the Dead Sea, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted."
It added that the missile was intercepted prior to crossing into Israeli territory. Sirens were sounded in accordance with protocol.
Early on Saturday morning, the Houthi rebels in Yemen launched another missile toward Israeli territory, but it was intercepted before crossing into Israeli airspace.
Preliminary alerts were activated on the Home Front Command app in several areas across the country, including Gush Dan, Jerusalem, the Shfela, and the south. However, actual sirens were only triggered in Be'er Sheva and the area.
