The Israeli air defense system has intercepted a missile fired from Yemen. This was announced by an army spokesperson. Earlier, sirens blared in southern Israel. According to a report on the "ynet" portal, take-offs and landings were temporarily suspended at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv because of the missile.
