The IDF intercepted a ballistic missile launched from Yemen before it crossed into Israeli territory, the military said on Sunday.At 10:41 a.m., the launched missile triggered rocket sirens across central Israel, the Shfela, and Jerusalem areas.Alerts sounded in Tel Aviv, Holon, and Yavne, ranging as far north as Herzliya and as far south as Telem in the West Bank.
Initially, Israel's emergency response service, Magen David Adom (MDA), said it had not received reports of injuries. However, it later noted its paramedics were providing medical treatment to two people who had been injured while running to a safe area.
MDA said a woman in her 40s was in moderate condition after she fell into a pit on Route 1 when running for shelter. An additional woman in her 30s was suffering from light injuries after the door of a safe area had hit her.
Police said a fragment of an interceptor had landed in a soccer field in the Tzur Hadassah area while additional shrapnel from an interceptor fell on the roofs of homes, on a car north of Beit Shemesh and on Route 375.
