Israeli air defense forces intercepted early this morning (Sunday) a surface-to-surface missile that made its way from Yemen towards Israel. The Arrow 3 missile defense system morning was used and the missile did not cross into the country.
A siren was triggered following a fear of falling interceptor fragments in the area. There were no casualties in the incident.
Residents in Eilat reported an interceptor seen in the sky of the city as well as the echoes of explosions in the area.
