Israel says missile from Yemen fragmented mid-air

The Israeli military said on Friday that a missile launched from Yemen most likely fragmented in mid-air after air raid sirens sounded in several areas across Israel. Yemen’s militant Houthi group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it carried out three operations against Israel including firing a ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, the group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, said in a televised statement on Friday. During the incident, the aerial defense systems made several attempts to intercept the missile, the military added in a statement.
