On Sunday Yemen’s Houthis (Ansarallah movement) launched another ballistic missile on Israel – but this time instead of the projectile landing in the desert or being intercepted, as with most prior such launches – the Houthis scored a direct hit on Israel’s major international airport in Tel Aviv.
“A ballistic missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen impacted on the grounds of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday morning, injuring six people, none of them seriously,” Times of Israel confirms. “The blast occurred in a grove of trees alongside an access road close to the airport’s main Terminal 3, several hundred yards from the airport control tower.”
The military said there were several failed efforts to intercept the missile as it was inbound. “An impact was identified in the area of Ben Gurion Airport,” an IDF statement said.
