Houthi chief says downed Tel Aviv missile was timed to coincide with Netanyahu landing in Israel

The leader of Yemen’s Houthis says a surface-to-surface missile that the rebel group fired toward the Tel Aviv area earlier this evening was timed to coincide with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s landing in Israel.

The IDF said the missile, which was fired at least half an hour after Netanyahu’s plane landed at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport, was shot down by air defenses “outside of the country’s borders.”

In a televised speech, Abdul Malik al-Houthi also vows that the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah “will not be in vain,” hours after the Lebanese terror group confirmed he had been killed by an Israeli airstrike in Beirut yesterday

“These great sacrifices and great injustice will not be wasted,” Abdul Malik al-Huthi says in a televised speech, adding that his Iran-backed rebels are directed toward “improving performance” after previous missile and drone strikes against Israel.
