Houthis claim to have targeted Ben Gurion airport after Israel hits Sana’a

IDF says missile was intercepted before it reached Israeli airspace, as Netanyahu says strikes on Yemen will continue

Houthi rebels in Yemen claim to have retaliated against Israeli airstrikes on Sana’a’s airport early on Friday with a missile aimed at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport and a drone attack on Tel Aviv.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said their defences intercepted the ballistic missile before it reached Israeli airspace, though residents in the centre of the country were ordered into shelters for fear of falling debris. There were no reports in Israel of hostile drones over Tel Aviv.
