IDF defenses shot down a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi rebels in Yemen, before it infiltrated into Israel, the military said.
Sirens blared early on Monday in the central Plains as the missile approached. Fires broke out in Beit Shemesh from shrapnel after it was intercepted. Firefighting teams were on hand to extinguish the flames.
According to Magen David Adom (MDA) health emergency services, no injuries were reported.
