Air raid sirens had sounded in Tel Aviv and across central
Israel moments before the missile landed at around 0335 GMT, sending residents
running for shelter.
"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.
Loud booms were also heard in the region, which the military
said came from missile interceptors that had been launched. It added that its
protective guidelines to Israel's residents were unchanged.
Smoke could be seen billowing in an open field in central
Israel, according to Reuters, though it was unclear if the fire was started by
the missile or debris of an interceptor.
In
July, Houthis fired a long-range drone at Tel Aviv, killing one man and
wounding four others. The attack prompted Israel to carry out a major
air strike on Houthi military targets near Yemen's Hodeidah port, killing at
least three people and wounding 87.
The Israeli military also said that 40 projectiles were
fired towards Israel from Lebanon on Sunday and were either intercepted or
landed in open areas.
"No injuries were reported," the military said.
