The Israeli military confirmed that sirens sounded across several areas in central Israel after a projectile was launched from Yemen, alleging that the missile was "intercepted” before entering Israeli airspace.
"Sirens were activated due to the potential for falling fragments after the interception,” it added.
Israeli emergency services reported that 18 people were injured in a stampede while rushing to shelters.
Flights to Ben Gurion Airport were halted during the activation of the sirens, according to Yedioth Ahronoth.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced, about three hours ago, that they would issue "an important" statement in the coming hours.
