Hussein attacked Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv with a missile

Yemeni Houthis from the rebel Ansar Allah movement attacked Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. This was reported by Al Masirah TV channel on Tuesday, December 31.

The attack was carried out by a Palestine-2 ballistic missile.

"Our missile forces conducted two precisely military operations in the Jaffa area, south of Al-Quds, using two missiles that reached their targets," the Houthis said in a statement.

It is specified that a strike targeting a power plant south of Jerusalem was also carried out.

Earlier in the day, the Houthis said they attacked the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman with cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), as the United States was allegedly preparing a major attack on Yemen. It was specified that the US air attack was thwarted.

Prior to that, the Israeli Air Force reported a massive series of strikes on an airbase and airport in northern Sanaa, Yemen. An attack was also launched on the port of Hodeidah in the west of the country. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was determined to fight the "hand of Iran" in Yemen.

On the same day, the Houthis threatened a swift response to Israel's bombardment of Yemen and then launched a rocket attack on Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Dec. 27.

The situation in the Middle East escalated on the morning of October 7, 2023, when the Palestinian radical movement Hamas subjected Israeli territory to a massive rocket attack from the Gaza Strip. On the same day, Israel began retaliatory strikes.
