The early morning attack triggered air raid sirens, including at Israel's international airport, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have repeatedly fired drones and missiles toward Israel since the start of the war in Gaza but nearly all of them have been intercepted over the Red Sea.
