A missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels has slipped through Israel's advanced air defence systems, hitting near the country's main airport and leaving some people in the vicinity "lightly wounded".
Video shared on social media shows the missile slamming into the ground near one of Ben Gurion Airport's car parks, with shrapnel hitting parts of the passenger drop off stands outside the terminal.
It is the fourth missile to be fired by the Houthis at Israel in as many days.
Warning sirens rang out across Tel Aviv and central Israel at 9.22am on Sunday as the missile was detected, and booms could be heard in central Jerusalem as the "Iron Dome" defence system tried to shoot it out of the sky.

Israel's ambulance service Magen David Adom said eight people were being treated for injuries after the missile hit, including blast trauma and injuries they sustained while rushing to bomb shelters.
Flights were temporarily grounded at Ben Gurion but resumed roughly an hour after the missile hit, and public transport to and from the terminal also restarted.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the incident was under review, but added "several attempts were made to intercept the missile".
In recent weeks, the United States has positioned THAAD anti-ballistic missile defence systems in Israel, bolstering the existing Iron Dome system.
It appears that still was not enough to stop the missile getting through.
A Houthi official has told Qatar-based network Al-Araby the attack was proof of the group's ability to hit sensitive sites in Israel.
The Houthis are considered a terrorist organisation under Australian law.
Israel's defence minister Israel Katz issued a warning after the attack.
"Whoever harms us, we will strike them sevenfold," he said.
A number of airlines immediately cancelled flights out of Ben Gurion in the wake of the attack.
Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Italian carrier ITA, Air Serbia, Air Europa, Brussels Airlines, Air France and United all scrapped flights on Sunday afternoon.
It is unclear whether it's a temporary move.
One Air India flight from New Delhi was forced to divert to Abu Dhabi after the missile hit.
Some carriers had suspended services to Tel Aviv as a result the war in Gaza, and the renewed fighting between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah after October 7, 2023.
Some services had started to return after the ceasefire with Hezbollah at the end of 2024, and the now-shattered truce between Israel and Hamas in January and February.
