Houthis launch missile attack on Israel's Ben Gurion airport

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis said on Thursday (March 27) that they had launched two missiles, one of which they said was hypersonic, towards Israel's main air gateway, Ben Gurion airport, and an unspecified military target in the Tel Aviv area. The group also claimed to have launched missiles and drones towards warships in the Red Sea, including the Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. The Israeli military said on Thursday it had intercepted two missiles launched from Yemen before they crossed into Israeli territory, after sirens sounded in several areas in Israel including Jerusalem. The Houthis are an armed movement that has taken control of the most populous parts of Yemen despite nearly a decade of Saudi-led bombing. The group is also part of what Iran calls the "Axis of Resistance" - a network of anti-Israel, anti-Western regional militias that also includes the Palestinian militant group Hamas and Lebanon's Hezbollah, whose capabilities Israel significantly reduced in an air and ground campaign last year.
