The Israeli military said in a statement that the air force intercepted the two drones without activating the air raid sirens, in accordance with standard procedure, without providing details.
Channel 12 (private) reported that one of the drones was intercepted over the Egyptian Sinai region, without causing any injuries or losses.
Earlier on Thursday, the Houthi group announced a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel with a ballistic missile.
For the fourth consecutive day, the Houthi group continues to carry out attacks against Israel, after announcing on Sunday that it is heading toward an "escalating military path" to target Israel with missiles, drones, or a naval blockade.
The escalation of Houthi attacks against Israel follows attacks launched by the latter on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, last Thursday, which resulted in the deaths of Houthi Prime Minister Ghaleb al-Rahwi, along with a number of ministers.

This genocide left 64,231 Palestinians martyred, 161,583 wounded, most of them children and women, more than 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that claimed the lives of 370 Palestinians, including 131 children.
