Yemen’s Houthis said they targeted Israel’s main airport Tuesday for the second time since Israel struck a rebel-held port a day earlier, with the Israeli army reporting it had intercepted the missile.
The Houthis targeted Ben Gurion International Airport “using a ‘Palestine 2’ hypersonic ballistic missile,” according to military spokesman Yarya Saree, who had hours earlier claimed a similar attack.
The Israeli army said Tuesday it had intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, a day after Israel carried out air strikes on its Houthi-held port of Hodeida.
“Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF,” the Israeli military reported on Telegram.
