Overview

• Yemen’s Houthi group launched a hypersonic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel, intercepted by Israeli defense systems.
• The attack caused no casualties, though several people sustained minor injuries while seeking shelter during the alert.
• Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea stated the group aims to disrupt air navigation at Ben Gurion Airport until Israel ends its Gaza operations.
• The missile launch follows a recent U.S.-mediated ceasefire halting Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping but excluding operations against Israel.
• The escalation underscores the Houthis’ alignment with Gaza, as they intensify attacks in response to Israel’s ongoing offensive in the region.
