The Houthis rebels in Yemen claim responsibility for firing a “Palestine-2” ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport this morning.

Israel said earlier that it intercepted the missile before it crossed the country’s borders.

The Iran-backed group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree also states that they attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red City.
