"Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted," the army said in a statement.
Israel's rescue service, the Magen David Adom, said there were no reports of injuries related to the launch.
The Israeli military reported shooting down two missiles launched from Yemen on Thursday, with the MDA reporting at least one person injured while seeking shelter from the first.
Yemen's Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles and drones at Israel in solidarity with Palestinians since the Gaza war broke out in October 2023.
The group paused their attacks during a two-month Gaza ceasefire that ended in March, but resumed them after Israel restarted its war on the Palestinian Strip in mid-March.
The Houthis recently warned they would impose a "naval blockade" on the Israeli port of Haifa after the country's military intensified its assaults in Gaza.
