Houthis Target Israel's Ben Gurion Airport In Overnight Ballistic Missile Attack by malali(op): 9:17pm On Dec 27, 2024
Despite yesterday's wide-ranging Israel aerial assault on Yemen, the Houthis have hit back - showing they remain undeterred in their willingness to attack Israel - having launched an overnight ballistic missile on Tel Aviv.

The missile was reportedly intercepted by air defenses before it entered Israeli airspace, but a Houthi spokesman claimed that Ben Gurion international airport was targeted in a significant escalation. The Houthis even claim it was hit.

Times of Israel notes that the population of central Israel has been on edge: "For the fifth night in the last eight days, sirens sounded in large swathes of central Israel overnight Thursday-Friday, after another ballistic missile attack by Yemen’s Houthis."


The same report indicated that some 20 people were hurt amid the panic and evacuations, with 18 of those slightly injured while rushing to bomb shelters and two suffering anxiety attacks.

The Houthi statement said that "the missile succeeded in reaching its target despite the enemy’s censorship, and the operation resulted in casualties and the cessation of navigation at the airport."

But the Israeli military confirmed that there were no strikes which hit the airport or its vicinity. A drone was also reportedly sent from Yemen but didn't appear to cause damage.

Despite Israel stepping up its attacks on Yemen, including Netanyahu's recent vow to hunt down Houthi leadership, the Houthis have vowed to not stop the attacks "until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted."

Days ago, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the leaders of the Yemeni group have made themselves targets. Taking them out will now be a top priority for the Israeli military.

"Just as we took care of Sinwar in Gaza, Haniyeh in Tehran and Nasrallah in Beirut, we will deal with the heads of the Houthis in Sana’a or anywhere in Yemen," Katz has said in the Tuesday comments, making reference to the slain leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas.

"We will act both against their infrastructure and against them to remove the threat," he pledged while inspecting an Arrow air defense system battery which just intercepted the latest Houthi missile attack.

He also again called out Iran, warning that "whoever sponsors the Houthi terror in Hodeida or Sana’a will pay the full price." Washington has for years documented Tehran's support to the group, which has included advanced missiles and drone technology. This has allowed the threat out of Yemen to grow significantly.

Last Saturday saw one of the biggest Houthi strikes to date, coming in the form of a reported hypersonic ballistic missile which hit Tel Aviv, leaving 16 people injured. And Tuesday morning saw another Houthi missile launch on Israel, which at that point had marked the third such attack in less than a week.

Re: Houthis Target Israel's Ben Gurion Airport In Overnight Ballistic Missile Attack by malali(op):
Yemen, fights back,attacked by Israel now but previously by USA, France,UK, and even Saudi. Israel has always seen Yemen like a walkover. Sometimes its not the Dog in the fight but the fight in the Dogs.Even if you kill the dog,you cant kill the fight.

Yemen has protested that Israel should stop murdering and committing genocidal act,against the Palestinians, as the UN remained helpless and all the European countries and other countries in the world look on.

If you bomb me, i bomb you back, no monopoly in bombing.

Small Yemen have refused to be bullied and have continued to stand up to Israel's terrorist criminal act of genocide and murdering babies.
Yemen has no distinct connection with the palestinians but they have just refused to standby and continue to watch the injustice.

David conquered Goliath.....The Yemeni's will humble the Israelis as they have refused to listen to the whole world

There must be a grand plan by some powerful forces to destroy Yemen. Because these houthis are definitely biting more than they can chew

Now you are celebrating and singing praises to Yemen instead of condemning them but when Israel responds you cry about genocide, tagging me all over the place or did Houthis not just fire a missile into an airport full of civilians(according to your post)?

Aren't you the same person condemning Israel for firing at civilians. Do you realize what would happen if the IAF carpet bomb Yemen indiscriminately. There will be no single Muslim to tell the tale!

Islamists can never take what they dish out.

That's why i call you a Jewish bigot, you never say Arab, even though you are fighting Arabs.....There are Christians and Muslims in Yemen. If you carpet bomb, you will be committing a genocide.

You can keep making up words to masturbate to your delusions.If Isreal was that powerful, they would have solved the problem with bombs in the last 100 years. But here they are 1 bomb a day for 200 years.........lol

You are celebrating the attack, don't try to twist your words. Own up.

Why should I say Arabs when Muslims make up Houthis that control part of Yemen and commit terrorist activities all over the world. Or do the Christians make up Houthi terror group? 🤷🏼
What's the population of Christians in Houthi controlled territory by the way? Almost non existent, due to persecution from Muslims.

This isn't Hollywood. Israel stands strong in its commitment to protect Am Yisrael from harm, and will take all necessary measures to defend itself against any threat, for the safety and well-being of all its citizens. That's the right thing to do.

Armchair General,

Yemen's terrain does not favor ground invasion. Its mountainous, desert and the 40 million dollar reaper drones that were used before were just wasted. Imaging losing a 40 million dollar drone and not killing a single person.
Donald trump will not put any boots on the ground anywhere there is no Oil. Americans are not stupid. Americans only give freedom to Oil countries.
The USA is bleeding from supporting Ukraine and Israel,the new government wants to focus on "America First" Not Ukrainians or Israelis.
Israel has 170k active service soldiers
Yemen has 8.9 million people fit for active service.

There is a reason air fight is chosen over ground invasion.

Israel will not discriminate when they kill Yemenis, same way in Gaza both Christians and Muslims and Infants are killed with the same bombs.

There are 45 million Yemenis.With less than 170 thousand IDF Soldiers. Lets see how you will kill all of them. And they will just standby and watch you kill them.

Keep trash posting while the IDF wipes out every single terrorist being in the fake Palestine state.
I might show you photos that will make you puke your intestine out. Photos of terrorists liquidated.

Some die in very painful and funny ways,some grinded into dust by tanks, some shot to smithereens. It's a great sight to see terrorists beg and bleed out in pain before dying off slowly. This is what happens when you attack the state of Israel.
You can't save Gaza. It will be pounded to dust.

Pound them to smithereens, but don't forget, its ordinary Gaza, and you still haven't been able to conquer them. IDF soldiers still dying everyday, against an army fighting barefooted. Lolololol

The US went into Vietnam, they had their ass kicked
The US had to leave Afghanistan without really winning the war
The US,UK,France have attacked and bomb the Houthis to no avail.

Bombing and tech is effective when the population lives in a very dense area, like Gaza
But when they live in the mountains and they only come out to Bomb and go back into underground caves and mountains.

Tech advantage is useless, unless you want to use bunker bombs which cost 100 million dollars to kill 3 people. Then you will also go bankrupt.
Its not as easy as people try to portray it to be.

Invasion can be done covertly too for a specific mission and back..

You armchair analyst knows nothing about warfare...even the meaning of invasion you don't really grasp in it entirety.
