Houthis Fire Two Ballistic Missiles at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport

The Iran-backed Houthi forces in Yemen have launched multiple ballistic missile attacks targeting Israel's Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, with the most recent attack involving two missiles, including a hypersonic Palestine-2 missile and a Zulfiqar missile. Israeli air defenses successfully intercepted at least one incoming missile, and while no direct casualties were reported, one person was lightly injured rushing to a shelter amid widespread sirens and airport flight suspensions. The Houthis have declared their attacks a demonstration of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and stated they will continue missile strikes until the siege on Gaza is lifted. In response, Israel has carried out airstrikes against Houthi-controlled ports in Yemen, leading to casualties and escalating tensions. The ongoing exchange reflects a broader conflict dynamic involving Iran-backed proxies and Israeli military retaliation, with the Houthis emphasizing their role in opposing what they describe as Israeli aggression against Palestinians. Both sides have issued statements underscoring their intentions to continue military actions, indicating potential for further escalation.
