Air raid sirens sounded across central Israel on Saturday including in Tel Aviv and large bangs were heard after a missile was fired from Yemen and intercepted, the Israeli military said. Yemen's Houthi militants said later that they fired a ballistic missile at Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.

The IDF says the surface-to-surface ballistic missile launched at central Israel from Yemen was shot down by air defenses “outside of the country’s borders.” IDF also confirms missile fired by Houthis from Yemen triggered central Israel sirens.
