SANAA, June 4 (Xinhua) — Yemen’s Houthi movement said on Tuesday it launched a “hypersonic ballistic missile” at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, adding that the attack disrupted airport operations and sent “millions of Israelis” into shelters.
“The operation has achieved its objective,” Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria said in a statement carried by al-Masirah television, vowing to continue the attacks unless what he called “Israeli aggression” ceased and the blockade of Gaza was lifted.
The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen, have launched a series of strikes on Israel since November 2023 in solidarity with the Palestinians amid the war in Gaza.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said air raid sirens sounded in parts of central and northern Israel after a rocket was launched from Yemen, but it said the rocket was successfully intercepted.
Israel’s Magen David Adom National Medical Service said there were no reports of casualties.
