File photos of projectiles fired into Israel.
The Israeli military said a missile fired from Yemen crossed into central Israel on Sunday and "fell in an open area".
The army said in a statement that "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 missile was fired from Yemen," it added in a subsequent statement sent just before 7:00 am (0400 GMT).
"The explosive sounds heard in the last few minutes are from the interceptors. The result of the interception is under review."
Yemen's Houthi rebels have been launching attacks against Israel and its interests in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians during the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
