The Houthi rebels in Yemen have used long-range missiles to once again attack Israel, hitting the Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Newsmax reports:
A missile launched by Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen briefly halted flights and commuter traffic at Israel’s main international airport on Sunday after its impact on open ground within the perimeter left a plume of smoke and caused panic among passengers.
The Houthis have targeted Israel throughout the war in Gaza in solidarity with Palestinians. The attack on Ben-Gurion International Airport came hours before Israeli Cabinet ministers were set to vote on whether to intensify military operations in Gaza. The army is calling up tens of thousands of reserves, Israel’s chief of staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said.
Israel’s army confirmed this was the first time a missile struck the airport grounds since the war began, though fragments of missiles or interceptors have struck nearby. Israel’s military said several attempts to intercept it were unsuccessful. It left a crater near the airport’s access road.
