The IAF intercepted a missile from Yemen, the IDF confirmed on Tuesday morning.

No sirens were activated as the missile was intercepted outside of Israeli territory.

Earlier on Tuesday morning, the IDF intercepted an additional missile that was fired by the Houthi terrorist organization.

The missile fired towards Israeli territory caused rocket sirens to sound in the Samaria and Baqa’a areas of the West Bank.

No casualties have been reported.

Previous interceptions of missiles from Yemen

The IDF stated that it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen on Sunday morning, which triggered sirens in the West Bank, as well as in Jerusalem and its surrounding areas.

Shrapnel from Sunday’s missile fell in an open area in the southern Hebron Hills, according to KAN.

Last Friday morning at around 4 a.m., sirens sounded in central Israel in the early hours following yet another missile launched by the Houthis.
