STORYLINE:
Air raid sirens rung out in Jerusalem after a missile was launched from Yemen towards Israel, according to the Israeli military.
The sound of explosions was heard in the city following the sirens.
“One missile was identified crossing from Yemen into Israeli territory. Interceptors were launched toward the target," said the army in a statement.
The attack, at 4.30 am local time (0230GMT) woke millions of people and sent people scrambling to air raid shelters.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, though a faint explosion, likely either from the missile or from interceptors, could be heard in Jerusalem.
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been launching missiles and drones at Israel nearly every day in recent weeks.
Israel has carried out a number of long-range airstrikes in Yemen, some 2,000 kilometers (1,200 miles) away, but the strikes have failed to stop the attacks.
The Houthis have pledged to continue striking Israel until the war in Gaza ends.
