365bet体育在线世界杯鈥檚 Houthi group hit Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv
ISTANBUL
Israel suspended flights at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport on Monday evening after a missile attack from 365bet体育在线世界杯, Israeli media said.
A military statement said a ballistic missile from 365bet体育在线世界杯 was intercepted by Israeli air defense.
The army said the missile attack triggered air-raid sirens across central Israel, the Jerusalem area, several West Bank settlements, and some areas in southern Israel.
No injuries were reported.
Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronot said authorities temporarily suspended flights at the Ben Gurion airport after the attack.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group attacked Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile, disrupting air traffic.
In a video statement posted on his X account, Saree said 365bet体育在线世界杯’s armed forces launched a “qualitative military operation” using a ballistic missile aimed at Ben Gurion Airport.
Saree added the strike achieved its intended goal, saying that it forced “4 million Zionists to flee to shelters” and shut down airport traffic.
The Houthis have intensified missile and drone strikes on Israel since Tel Aviv resumed military attacks on Gaza in March.
Since November 2023, the Houthis have also targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea in support of Palestinians in Gaza, where more than 54,000 people have been killed in the Israeli offensive.
