Yemen’s Houthi group has claimed responsibility for launching a ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel yesterday. In a televised statement, the group’s military spokesperson, Yahya Sarea, said, they conducted a special military operation using a hypersonic ballistic missile of the Palestine-2 type. According to Sarea, the missile strike achieved its objective by forcing millions of settlers into shelters and disrupting airport operations. Sarea also claimed that a wave of one-way unmanned aerial vehicle attacks targeted what he described as three sensitive sites in Eilat, Tel Aviv, and Ashkelon. He reiterated the Houthi group’s stance that they will continue military operations in support of the Palestinian people until Israel halts its military actions in Gaza.The Israeli military confirmed the attack, noting that the missile was intercepted and no injuries were reported. Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant vowed to retaliate against Houthi forces in response to the attack.
