It says in a statement the missile launched by the Houthis early at Israeli territory “most likely fragmented in mid-air”, Al Jazeera reports.

Several interception attempts were made by the Arrow and Iron Dome Aerial defence systems, it said, with their “results” and the entire incident currently under review.

The army said fragments from the missile and interceptors were found in open areas and at the Paatei Modi’in railway station. It added that firefighters were working to extinguish a fire caused by the missile near Kfar Daniel.
