Houthis say they have targeted Ben Gurion airport during “criminal” Netanyahu’s return from Washington

Shafaq News/ Yemen’s Houthi movement (Ansarallah) announced on Saturday that it had targeted Ben Gurion Airport during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s return from Washington.

The group’s spokesman, Yahya Saree, said that the Yemeni Armed Forces’ Rocket Force carried out an operation against what Israel calls “Ben Gurion” airport in Jaffa during the arrival of “criminal” Benjamin Netanyahu.

“The operation was carried out using a Palestine-2 ballistic missile.”

Saree stressed that the Yemeni Armed Forces will continue to support Gaza and Lebanon against Israeli hostilities that have not excluded civilians. “The Yemeni Armed Forces, together with all the honorable and free people of the nation, continue to respond to the crimes of the Israeli enemy and will not hesitate to increase the level of escalation in response to the requirements of the current phase and participate in defense of Gaza and Lebanon,” affirmed the group’s spokesman.

He concluded by reaffirming the movement’s commitment to continue operations against Israel “until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon ends.”

This attack follows Hezbollah’s official mourning for its general secretary Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed on Friday in an Israeli airstrike on a densely populated neighborhood in Beirut’s southern suburbs, killing several of his comrades in the Lebanese resistance and many innocent civilians.
