The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen take responsibility for the overnight ballistic missile attack on Israel, claiming to have targeted Ben Gurion Airport.
The Houthis claim that “the missile succeeded in reaching its target despite the enemy’s censorship, and the operation resulted in casualties and the cessation of navigation at the airport.”
The IDF said the missile was successfully downed by air defenses, and there were no reports of impacts at the airport. Flight arrivals were reportedly halted for 30 minutes.
Additionally, the Houthis claim to have carried out a drone attack on a “vital target” in the Tel Aviv area. There were no reports of drones reaching Israel from Yemen in the past day.
The Houthis also say that it targeted a container ship in the Arabian Sea with several drones.
The Iran-backed group vows to continue their attacks on Israel “until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.”
