The Israeli military announced on Sunday that it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, marking the second such interception in as many days.
According to the army, the missile was neutralized before entering Israeli territory following sirens in the Arabah and Dead Sea regions.
The attack was claimed by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who said they had targeted an air base in Israel’s Negev desert using a "hypersonic missile."
A similar missile was intercepted the day before, aimed at the same base.
