The Iran-aligned group claimed it fired two ballistic missiles, including a hypersonic "Palestine 2" missile targeting the airport and a "Zulfiqar" missile striking what it described as a strategic Israeli site near Jaffa. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the operation succeeded in disrupting flights and forcing Israelis into shelters, though Israel confirmed only an interception with no major damage reported. The attack came just one day after Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and hundreds of settlers raided Al-Aqsa Mosque under police protection, marking the anniversary of Israel’s 1967 occupation of East Jerusalem. The Islamic Endowment Department condemned the incursion, accusing settlers of performing "provocative acts" in the holy compound. Israeli authorities acknowledged intercepting a missile launched from Yemen toward central Israel but did not confirm any damage or casualties. The incident follows heightened regional tensions, with the Iran-aligned Houthis repeatedly targeting Israel in solidarity with Palestinians. Writing by Sibel Uygun
