Houthis Say They Fired Hypersonic Ballistic Missile at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport

Yemen's Houthi movement announced on Sunday that it had launched a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. 

In a statement carried by Houthi-affiliated media, the group claimed responsibility for the strike, describing it as part of its continued operations against Israeli targets in response to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and broader regional tensions.

There has been no immediate confirmation from Israeli authorities regarding any missile impact or damage at Ben Gurion Airport. Israeli media outlets have yet to report disruptions to air traffic or casualties.

The Houthis, who control large parts of northern Yemen, have previously launched drones and ballistic missiles toward Israel and Red Sea shipping lanes, particularly since the outbreak of the Gaza war in October 2023. However, claims of successful hits on targets deep inside Israel remain difficult to independently verify.

Regional and international observers are monitoring the situation closely for further developments
