Early Sunday morning, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) successfully intercepted a surface-to-surface missile aimed towards Israel, using the 'Arrow 3' missile defense system.

The interception followed an airstrike by the Israel Air Force on targets in Yemen, in retaliation to a drone attack that hit Tel Aviv late last week.

The IDF's quick response highlights the ongoing tensions and the highly responsive nature of Israel's defense capabilities.
