A missile launched by Yemen's Houthi group struck near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on Thursday, injuring eight people and triggering chaos among travelers. Air traffic temporarily halted as emergency teams rushed to the scene. 🚑
The attack marks the latest escalation in the Houthis' campaign targeting Israeli infrastructure, which the group says is retaliation for Israel's actions in Gaza. "We will continue to impose an aerial siege until Gaza is protected," a Houthi spokesperson declared earlier this week. 🔥
The strike follows a surge in drone and missile launches from Yemen toward Israel since mid-October, part of a broader regional proxy conflict. 🎯 Tourism analysts warn the repeated attacks could impact Israel's economy, already strained by ongoing security challenges.
Security checkpoints at Ben Gurion—Israel's main international airport—are being re-evaluated, with officials urging travelers to "remain vigilant." 🌍 Meanwhile, global powers are calling for de-escalation amid fears the conflict could spill beyond regional borders. Stay tuned for updates as tensions simmer.
