Yemen’s Houthis claim missile attack on Israeli airport
The Houthis have confirmed they were behind the missile launched towards Israel earlier, which the Israeli army said it intercepted.
In his latest televised prerecorded message, military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the Yemeni group had launched a Zolfaghar ballistic missile towards Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv.
He said the launch “successfully achieved its objective” as it “caused air raid sirens to sound in more than 300 towns and cities, prompting millions of Zionists to rush to shelters, and halting air traffic at the airport”.
Saree said the Houthis will continue their attacks on Israel, as well as Israel-linked shipping in the Red Sea, “in rejection of the crime of genocide committed” in Gaza.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that the UNIFIL patrol members fired smoke bombs before retreating.
According to other local media, the tensions erupted after several town residents objected to the passing of a UNIFIL patrol alone, considering it a “violation of the adopted protocol” which requires it to be accompanied by the Lebanese army.
