Aden, Yemen: Yemen’s Houthi group announced Sunday that it would conduct military operations against Ben Gurion Airport and other unspecified Israeli airports within hours, in response to Israel’s escalation of attacks in Gaza and recent strikes on Yemen.

The announcement was made by Nasruddin Amer, deputy chief of the Houthi media authority, in a statement on social media platform X.

Amer urged all airlines currently operating at Israeli airports to depart immediately and warned all passengers to evacuate before the planned Houthi operations.

Earlier on Sunday, the Israeli military said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen toward central Israel, where air raid sirens were triggered, prompting residents to take cover overnight.

The Houthi escalation comes after an Oman-brokered ceasefire agreement between the Yemen-based militia and the United States, which aims to end a spate of mutual attacks. However, the deal does not extend to Israeli targets or Israeli-linked shipping.
