Houthis take responsibility for missile and drone attacks, claim they hit Ben Gurion Airport

The Houthis in Yemen have claimed responsibility for a series of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel. In their statement, the group asserted that a ballistic missile struck Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, although Israeli authorities reported that the missile broke apart in the air and caused no significant damage.

Additionally, the Houthis stated they launched two drones at Israeli targets in the Tel Aviv and Ashkelon areas. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting one drone over southern Israel, while the other reportedly fell short of reaching its intended target.

These incidents are part of ongoing tensions in the region, with previous Houthi drone attacks often failing to reach Israeli territory.
