The warning sirens in Tel Aviv sounded in response to a projectile from Yemen, it said. The projectile was intercepted before reaching Israeli territory, the same source revealed shortly afterwards.
In Tel Aviv, the rocket alarm was last triggered on Thursday night when the Houthi militia in Yemen fired a rocket at the city. This projectile was also intercepted by the Israeli missile defence system.
The Houthis assert they are acting in solidarity with the Palestinian militant Hamas movement, against whom Israel is fighting in the Gaza Strip.
