Air-raid sirens sounded in Israel shortly after 6:30 on Friday morning as the IDF announced that the Israeli Air Force’s Arrow 3 exoatmospheric hypersonic missile platform intercepted a ballistic projectile fired by the Houthis from Yemen.
The threat caused civilian aircraft to be diverted from their flight paths, causing landing delays, although Ben-Gurion International Airport soon resumed normal service.
Missile fragments fell in the Beit Fajar area, south of Bethlehem in Judea.
This morning’s attack tested the IDF’s new warning system, which is supposed to send out an alert before the sirens are sounded.
However, it worked with mixed results.
Many users reported that the IDF Spokesperson’s announcement triggered news alerts in the media, but this was not coupled with receipt of an advance alert via the Home Front Command app.
Other users did report receiving the alert in advance.
