Tel Aviv residents scrambled for shelter as a missile from Yemen landed in central Israel, its military says.
A long-range ballistic missile fired from Yemen has hit central Israel, setting off air raid sirens, according to the Israeli military.
The missile triggered air raid sirens in Tel Aviv and across central Israel, including the Ben Gurion international airport, sending residents running for shelter. There were no reports of casualties or damage, and the airport authority said normal operations resumed shortly after.
They also showed images of a fragment that landed on an escalator in a train station in the central town of Modiin.
“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in central Israel, a surface-to-surface missile was identified crossing into central Israel from the east and fell in an open area. No injuries were reported,” the military said.
