Israel threatens retaliatory strikes in Yemen after latest Houthi attack

These missile launches from Yemen targeting Israel are becoming more frequent. The Houthis say they’re going to continue these types of attacks as long as Israel’s war on Gaza resumes.

Since March, there have been nearly 40 projectiles launched by the Houthis. Israelis say they are going to take matters into their own hands and conduct their own air strikes in Yemen. This is something the Israelis have carried out before.

After a missile targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion airport a few weeks ago, making impact and causing damage near and around the airport, the Israelis have continued their attacks on Yemen.

Despite all the attacks by the Americans and Israelis, the Houthis still have these military capabilities.

Hamas praises Houthi strikes on Israel

The Palestinian group says it “highly values ​​and commends” the Yemeni rebels’ “ongoing support and solidarity operations” targeting Israel.

The Houthis’ latest missile strike, which targeted Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, “confirms the noble stance of the brotherly Yemeni people” in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, a Hamas statement on Telegram said.

It also called on Muslim nations as well as the rest of the international community to intensify their efforts to stop “the ongoing war of extermination in Gaza”.

The Israeli military said earlier that it had intercepted the missile launched from Yemen in an attack claimed by the Houthis. There were no reports of casualties or damage. Sirens sounded in several areas of Israel.


Houthi airport attacks affecting Israel’s economy: Report

The economic damage from the Houthis’ ongoing attacks on Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport remains significant, the country’s Channel 12 broadcaster reports.

About 20 international airlines have suspended flights because of repeated targeting of the airport by Yemen’s Houthi militia and some are reportedly seeking compensation.

“I think we’re running out of patience too with Israel,” Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said last week. “Flights to and from Tel Aviv, if they’re going to keep being disrupted by these security disruptions, frankly, we’d be better off sending those aircraft somewhere else in Europe.”
