Israel delays incoming flights after Yemen’s missile targets Ben Gurion Airport
Israel was forced to delay several incoming flights at its main international airport following a ballistic missile attack launched from Yemen, local media reported.
The disruption at Ben Gurion Airport occurred after air raid sirens were triggered across several cities in the occupied territories, prompting authorities to halt scheduled landings as a precaution.
Among the affected flights were El Al services arriving from Boston and London, according to Yedioth Ahronoth.
Israel’s military said its air defense systems had intercepted a missile fired by Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement.
“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted,” the military said in a statement.
Yemen later said its Armed Forces had fired a "ballistic missile" at the airport.
Military spokesperson Yahya Saree said three drones were also launched at the occupied territories.
Sunday’s attack marked the latest in a series of operations by Yemen’s Armed Forces against Israel.
On Thursday, the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic ballistic missile, Saree said at the time. He also said that another missile struck a “vital target” in the eastern part of Jaffa, central Israel.
Houthi's military spokesman vowed that retaliatory operations would continue and escalate unless Israel ends its war on the Gaza Strip.
