On Tuesday, Yemen’s Houthis (Ansarallah) launched a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.

In a statement, the Houthis affirmed that the strike successfully achieved its goal, claiming it triggered mass evacuations into shelters and disrupted airport operations.

The Israeli military confirmed it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen, noting that air raid sirens were activated across several

areas.

Israeli media also reported a temporary suspension of departures and landings at the Airport following the incident.

Earlier, the Houthis announced launching a new phase in their military campaign against Israel, declaring an expanded naval blockade that will target all ships owned by companies engaged with Israeli ports.
