In a statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group’s armed forces targeted Ben Gurion Airport (Lod Airport) in Tel Aviv with a "Palestine-2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The attack, he claimed, forced "millions of Zionist settlers to flee into shelters" and disrupted airport operations. The Houthis said the strike was carried out in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, where Israeli military operations have continued since March following the collapse of a temporary ceasefire. The group vowed to escalate attacks until Israel ends its offensive and lifts its blockade on Gaza. Following the Houthi statement, the Israeli military said early Thursday that its air defense systems had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen without triggering air-raid sirens. No casualties or damage were reported. The Iran-aligned Houthis have intensified missile and drone attacks against Israel since late 2023, while also targeting commercial shipping in the Red Sea and nearby waters in protest of the war in Gaza. According to Gaza health authorities, more than 61,700 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since October 2023. The conflict has heightened regional tensions, with the Houthis positioning themselves as part of an "axis of resistance" against Israel. The group has previously claimed attacks on Israeli-linked vessels and infrastructure, though Israel has often downplayed their impact. Writing by Sibel Uygun
