The movement’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea stated that a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile was successfully used in the military operation targeting the Ben Gurion airport.

The spokesman also added that its forces continue to carry out, for the fifth day, military operations against US warships, particularly the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier and its escort, in the Red Sea.

The Israeli Army said it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen by its air force.

However, a television channel informed of the suspension of landing permissions at the Ben Gurion airport so that a flight from London that was just few minutes away from landing changed course.

The Houthis have taken over large areas in central, northern, and southern Yemen, including Sana’a, the capital, since 2014, after taking up arms against the Government, an event that sparked an ongoing civil war.
