STORYLINE:
A long-range missile fired from Yemen landed in an open area in central Israel early Sunday, the Israeli military said.
The early morning attack triggered air raid sirens, including at Israel’s international airport, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
The military said the sound of explosions in the area came from interceptors.
Smoke was seen rising near the central town of Modiin, though it wasn’t clear if this was from the incoming missile or the interceptors.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel since the start of the war in Gaza but nearly all of them have been intercepted over the Red Sea.
In July, an Iranian-made drone launched by the Houthis struck Tel Aviv, killing one person and wounding 10 others.
Israel responded with a wave of air strikes on Houthi-held areas of Yemen.
The nearly yearlong war in Gaza, which began with Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack into southern Israel, has rippled across the region, with Iran and allied militant groups attacking Israeli and U.S. targets and drawing retaliatory strikes from Israel and its Western allies.
