In a statement on Telegram, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree says the group carried out a “hypersonic ballistic missile” strike targeting Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport this morning. The statement claimed the strike “successfully hit its target” and urged international airlines to avoid the “unsafe” airport.
The Houthis carried out the assault “in support of the oppressed Palestinian people” and to counter Israel’s “crime of genocide” in Gaza, according to the statement.
