In the early morning hours, Yemen launched long-range missiles that struck Israel, while Lebanon also fired 40 projectiles.
Israel has been repeatedly attacked by Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and Lebanon's Hezbollah.
On Sunday, a long-range missile launched from Yemen landed in central Israel, as reported by the Israeli military.
In response to the attack, air raid sirens sounded in the area and local news outlets published images of what seemed to be a missile or interceptor fragment that struck a train station in Modiin's central town.
No casualties or damage were reported from the missile, but authorities noticed a fire in a rural area.
On Sunday, around 40 projectiles were fired from Lebanon, with some being intercepted and the rest falling in open areas, according to the Israeli military.
Nobody immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday's missile strike from Yemen.
The interceptors were responsible for the sounds of explosions reported by local media, according to Israel's military.
Since the start of Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza, which began after the terror group attacked the Jewish State on Oct. 7, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have frequently targeted Israel with drones and missiles.
Nearly all the attacks have been intercepted over the Red Sea.
No injuries were reported from the projectiles. Israel Fire and Rescue Services are working to extinguish fires caused by fallen projectiles in open areas.
The Israel-Hamas conflict has been ongoing for a year, and Iran and its financiers have supported terrorist groups that have targeted Israel and the U.S., resulting in retaliatory strikes from Israel and its allies.
Iran is backing terror groups such as Hamas, the Houthis, and Hezbollah, who have been engaged in daily clashes with Israel since the Gaza war started over a year ago. Iran and its allies claim their support is a way of standing up for the Palestinians.
In July, a drone launched by the Houthis from Yemen struck Tel Aviv, killing one person and injuring 10 others. In response, Israel carried out airstrikes on Houthi-controlled regions in Yemen.
The Houthis have frequently attacked commercial vessels in the Red Sea, claiming it to be a blockade against Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians. Nevertheless, the majority of the ships targeted have no ties to Israel.
Numerous individuals from both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border have been forced to relocate as a result of the attacks.
