The Houthis reported a "military operation" against Ben Gurion Airport in Israel.

Armed forces formed by Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement attacked Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. This was announced on May 4 by Yahya Saria, a representative of the group.

"We conducted a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied area of Jaffa (Tel Aviv. — Ed.). We warn international airlines not to fly to Ben Gurion Airport, as it is unsafe. The US and Israeli defense systems were unable to intercept the missiles," Al Jazeera quoted him as saying.

According to the Houthis, as a result of the attack, the airport was completely paralyzed for more than an hour. Saria indicated that they intend to continue "to resist American aggression and support the Palestinian people, no matter what the consequences."

According to recent reports, eight people were injured in a rocket attack on an Israeli airport. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold consultations with the heads of the country's security ministries on this day.
