Yemen's Houthis claim cluster missile attack on Israel's Ben Gurion airport
Yemen's Houthi rebels said they attacked Israel's Ben Gurion airport with cluster missiles and drones. The group's military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the strike on the major Israeli airport.
Yemen's Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced that his group launched an attack on Israel's Ben Gurion airport using cluster missiles and multiple drones. The airport is located in the Tel Aviv area and serves as Israel's primary international gateway.
The Houthis are an Iran-backed rebel group that controls much of northern Yemen. They have been involved in Yemen's civil war since 2014 and have increasingly targeted Israeli and international shipping in recent months.
Ben Gurion airport handles the vast majority of Israel's international air traffic. Any successful attack on the facility would represent a major escalation in the regional conflict that has spread beyond Gaza since October 2023.
Details about potential damage or casualties from the claimed attack are still emerging. Israeli authorities have not yet confirmed whether the strike occurred or caused any disruption to airport operations.
Ben Gurion is Israel's main international airport, handling millions of passengers yearly. Any attack on this key travel hub could disrupt flights and escalate the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran-backed groups across the Middle East.
Watch for Israeli response and confirmation of any airport damage or flight disruptions.
