Houthi Threat to Impose Air Blockade on Israel

Iran-backed Houthi terrorists threatened to impose a complete air blockade of Israel after landing a missile near Ben Gurion airport. Israel's air defenses failed to intercept the missile. Israeli security cabinet approved military expansion in Gaza in response. Houthi threat led to temporary flight cancellations but airport operations resumed.

Missile Strike near Ben Gurion Airport

A ballistic missile fired by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen hit near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, causing injuries and flight disruptions. Israeli officials are considering a response to Yemen or Iran. The missile evaded missile defenses and led to the airport's closure. The U.S. and Israel's defense systems failed to intercept the missile. There is a possibility that Israel may target Iran due to its support for the Houthis.
