Houthis claim missile attack, say they aimed at airport

Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim responsibility for launching a ballistic missile attack that was intercepted by Israel hours ago.

In a video statement, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says the group’s “missile force… carried out a military operation” targeting Ben-Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.

Sirens had sounded across central Israel, the Jerusalem area, several West Bank settlements, and some areas in southern Israel before Israel’s military said it shot down the projectile.
