The launch from Yemen was intercepted by Israel's Arrow 3 system, in what was the third time since Wednesday that the Houthis has fired a missile towards Israel and was then intercepted.
The IDF intercepted a Houthi missile launched from Yemen towards Israel on Friday, the military confirmed.
The missile triggered sirens from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem at 10:24 p.m.
There have been no reported casualties from the incident, according to Magen David Adom.
The launch from Yemen was intercepted by Israel's Arrow-3 system, in what was the third time since Wednesday that the Houthis had fired a missile towards Israel and was then intercepted, Maariv reported.
The Houthis said it had attacked Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile.

Previous recent rockets and missiles towards Israel this week
The last projectile to fire towards Israeli territory was only several hours prior, but was from Gaza when a launch from the northern part of the Strip triggered a siren in the Netiv HaAsara moshav.
Wednesday's missile from Yemen had triggered sirens in the Dead Sea and surrounding areas.
Like on Friday, the IDF confirmed that it had intercepted the missile shortly after the incident, and there were no reports of damage or casualties from the incident.
A Wall Street Journal report published hours before the Houthis' attack on Friday stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran was accelerating efforts to rearm its militia allies across the Middle East.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqaei denied the reports, calling them "baseless."
More than a week ago, Germany had called on the Islamic Republic to restrain the Yemen-based terrorist organization, with Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul condemning their attacks in the Red Sea.
"This shows that we need an understanding with Iran as a whole, not only regarding the development, the possible development of nuclear weapons, but also regarding Iran's regional behavior."
