Sanaa: Yemen’s Houthi group took responsibility Thursday night for launching a fresh “hypersonic ballistic missile” attack against central Israel, saying it was aimed at Ben Gurion Airport.

“We carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel, using a hypersonic ballistic missile,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement, aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

Sarea said the group would continue its attacks “until the Israeli aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.”

“We will continue to ban Israeli air traffic to and from Ben Gurion Airport,” the Houthi military spokesperson added.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said in a statement that it intercepted a missile fired by Houthi forces in Yemen towards central Israel.

On Wednesday, the Israeli air forces launched airstrikes on the Sanaa airport in the Houthi-held capital Sanaa, destroying the runway, facilities, and the last passenger plane in the airport.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been targeting Israel since November 2023 to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.
