[Regnum] The Israeli army (IDF) intercepted a rocket launched from Yemen. This was reported on May 9 by the press service of the Israeli army.
“A missile launched from Yemen was intercepted,” the Telegram channel said.
It is not specified where exactly the interception took place.
Earlier on May 9, the Israeli army press service reported that air raid sirens were sounding in several areas of Israel.
On May 4, Regnum reported that debris from a rocket launched from Yemen fell in the area of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. The IDF confirmed that debris fell during an attempt to intercept it. Following the rocket attack, the airport suspended use of its airspace for an hour, after which it resumed accepting and releasing aircraft.
On April 27, the Israeli army also recorded a rocket launch from Yemen. Air defense systems were used to intercept it. The rocket was destroyed before it entered Israeli territory.

The Israel Defense Forces reported that the missile was successfully intercepted by air defenses.
There were no reports of injuries or damage caused directly by the attack.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Israel would respond.
"The Houthis continue to launch Iranian missiles at Israel. As we promised, we will respond strongly in Yemen and anywhere else necessary," he said in a statement.
A security source told The Times of Israel that the missile was intercepted by Israel’s Arrow long-range air defense system. The American THAAD system deployed to Israel also engaged the missile but missed, for the second time this week, the source said.
Tel Aviv beach as red alerts sounded during a Houthi ballistic missile attack.
In Friday’s attack, sirens sounded at 4:25 p.m. across central Israel. Preceding the sirens by some three minutes, an early alert warning was issued to a wide area in central Israel, including Jerusalem, alerting civilians of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones.
The new phone alert system, which was recently activated, has faced teething trouble, sometimes not sending alerts or sending out warnings over a wider area than needed and that the sirens cover.
The Friday attack came three days after the US announced that it had reached a ceasefire with the Yemeni terror group.
Houthi officials made clear that the deal, in which they agreed to stop targeting US maritime activity in the Red Sea in exchange for an end to weeks of intense US airstrikes, did not include any agreement to stop firing at Israel or ships linked to the Jewish state.
The attacks came after Israel carried out two days of heavy sorties targeting infrastructure controlled by the Houthis in response to the missile that struck Ben Gurion Airport. The fiery
