Sirens were sounded early Friday morning, around 12:40 a.m. throughout Gush Dan, the Shfela (Lowlands) and the Sharon regions.
The IDF Spokesperson's Unit said that the sirens were sounded after a missile was launched from Yemen.
"The missile that was fired from Yemen was successfully intercepted by the 'Arrow' Aerial Defense System. Sirens and explosions were heard following the interception and falling shrapnel," the IDF statement said.
A subsequent statement added, “Following the sirens that sounded in central Israel, the surface-to-surface missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted by an ‘Arrow’ interceptor outside of Israeli territory.”
“There is currently no change to the IDF Defensive guidelines.”
The sirens and explosions that were heard are the result of the interception process that was carried out at a high altitude and above the earth's atmosphere, something that leads to the activation of multiple sirens due to concerns over fragments of the interceptions falling in many areas.
Magen David Adom reported that there are no injuries as a result of the missile launch, except for several people suffering from shock and people who were injured while making their way to shelter.
The firing from Yemen came after Hezbollah confirmed the death of Muhammad Hussein Srour, the commander of its aerial unit, who was eliminated in an IDF strike in the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut.
