The Israeli military claimed that the missile fired from Yemen was intercepted near the airport.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the attack, Times of Israel reported.
Sirens had sounded across central occupied lands and the holy Quds area. Preceding the sirens by around a minute, an early warning was issued to residents, alerting them of the long-range missile attack via a push notification on their phones, the Times added.
Ynet reported the missile sent over a million Israelis to bomb shelters and Ben Gurion Airport temporarily halted all departures and arrivals.
The videos online showed that the air defense failed to intercept the missile.
