Explosions were heard over Jerusalem today and sirens sounded, Agence France-Presse reported, a day before the Gaza ceasefire agreement and the release of hostages came into effect after more than 15 months of war.
The Israeli military said the missiles were launched at Israel from Yemen, and sirens were also heard in the central part of the country.
The army also said it had intercepted the missile.
Yemeni Houthi rebels launched attacks on Israeli territory at the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, claiming to be in “solidarity” with the Palestinians.
The Houthis warned on Thursday, following the announced ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, that they would continue their attacks if Israel did not respect the terms of the ceasefire.
The Houthis, along with Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah, form what Iran calls the "axis of resistance" against Israel.
