[Regnum] Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement launched two ballistic missiles at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. This was stated on May 18 by Yahya Saria, a spokesman for the armed forces formed by the Houthis.
"Yemen's rocket forces carried out a military operation, attacking Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa region with two ballistic missiles. The operation achieved its goal and forced millions of occupiers to take refuge in bomb shelters," a spokesman for the movement said on Al Masirah TV.
| A much more realistic aim than actually hitting Israel, since yesterday we were informed that the IDF shot down one, while the other was never even on Israel’s radar — presumably falling very short. |
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 18, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recorded a new rocket attack from Yemen. It is noted that air raid sirens were activated in several areas of Israel after the rocket was launched from Yemen. Later, the IDF reported intercepting the rocket.
Earlier it was reported that the IDF intercepted a rocket launched from Yemen on May 9, and on May 4 Israel reported that debris from a rocket launched from Yemen fell in the Ben Gurion area. After the rocket attack, the use of airspace was suspended for an hour, then the airport resumed receiving and releasing aircraft.
