Houthis claim missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport

The Houthi group in Yemen said it launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday in retaliation for Israeli actions in Beirut and Gaza. Israel said the missile was intercepted.

Israel remained silent after the Houthis claimed two drone attacks on the airport a day earlier.

Since November 2023, Iran-backed Houthis have used drones and missiles to attack Israel in support of the Palestinians. Israeli defense systems have stopped the majority of attacks, according to Al Jazeera.
