The Israeli military reported early Tuesday morning, just before 5:00 a.m., that a projectile had been detected coming from Yemen, aimed at Israel.
The IDF noted that its Air Force defense units were actively engaged in attempting to neutralize the incoming missile.
Not long after the initial detection, warning sirens began sounding across communities in the Jordan Valley and areas within Samaria.
Following the incident, the IDF released a statement confirming that the missile originating from Yemen had been shot down successfully. The military added that the sirens were activated in accordance with standard operating procedures.
Magen David Adom announced that, as of this time, no emergency calls had been placed to their 101 hotline concerning injuries or damage.
This event comes just two days after a similar occurrence on Sunday, when a missile launched from Yemen set off alerts across multiple regions, including Yerushalayim, Gush Etzion, the Judean Hills, areas bordering the Judean Desert, and the city of Arad.
The military later verified that Sunday’s missile had also been intercepted before it could cause harm.
