The projectile did not cross into Israeli territory.
Rocket and missile sirens sounded in Eliat and the surrounding area due to the possibility of falling shrapnel.
Israel’s strike in Yemen
The interception comes amid Israel’s airstrikes on Houthi targets in the Al Hudaydah Port area in Yemen on Saturday.
On Thursday, a drone attack was carried out in Tel Aviv, killing one and wounding ten. The Houthis later claimed responsibility for the attack.
