Houthi Missile Strikes Near Ben Gurion Airport, Injures One

A ballistic missile launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, prompting sirens and grounding flights across central Israel. The Israel Defense Forces reported attempting to intercept the missile, which impacted within the airport perimeter or nearby access roads. Initial reports indicated no casualties, though at least one person was later reported lightly wounded in a parking lot at the airport. Over the weekend, the Houthis also launched drones at Israel, both of which were intercepted by air defense systems. Police and emergency services urged residents to avoid debris and remain vigilant, as they investigated the impact zones. This incident marks a continued escalation of long-range attacks by Houthi forces targeting Israel.
