Houthis report 3rd attack on Ben Gurion Airport within 48 hours
The Yemeni Houthi group announced on Saturday that it had targeted Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic missile for the third time in 48 hours.
“In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their brave resistance, our missile forces successfully targeted Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Jaffa with a hypersonic Palestine 2 missile,” the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a statement, warning all airlines that “Ben Gurion Airport is no longer safe for air traffic and will remain so until the aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.”
This marks the fifth missile launched from Yemen towards the Zionist entity since the Gaza ceasefire agreement on January 19, which the occupation later violated on Tuesday, resulting in 634 martyrs and 1,172 wounded.
Saree added that the Houthis had launched attacks against the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea.
The group recently vowed to escalate attacks, including those targeting “Israel”, in response to U.S. strikes earlier this month, which amount to the biggest U.S. military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in January.
By Thursday evening, American airstrikes on Yemen had killed 79 people and injured over 100 others, including women and children, according to Houthi statements.
