Ben Gurion Airport Suspends Flights after Yemeni Missile Strike
The attack came in retaliation for the Israeli regime's earlier airstrikes on the Arab country.
Israeli warplanes on Sunday night launched at least 20 airstrikes on Hodeidah in western Yemen.
The Yemeni Armed Forces said in a statement on Sunday that the Air Force confronted the Israeli aggression on Yemen.
"The Yemeni Armed Forces assure our people and the free people of our nation that they are highly prepared and, with Allah's help, capable of confronting the aggressors, and that these aggressions will not affect them or their military capabilities, and that support operations for the Gaza Strip and Palestine will continue at a high pace, and we will defend our country and our nation with all the strength we possess, Allah willing," the statement added.
Israeli media reported that at least one Yemeni ballistic missile entered the skies over the occupied Palestine.
The attack triggered air raid sirens across several settlements, including areas in the occupied West Bank and Al-Quds.
Israel’s main Ben Gurion Airport suspended all flights due to fears of a potential missile impact.
The attack followed Israel's Sunday airstrikes on several Yemeni key ports.
The Israeli army issued threats that it would soon carry out strikes.
The Israeli regime’s military issued an evacuation threat for three Yemeni ports, saying it would strike those areas due to military activities being conducted there.
It identified the targets as the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and as-Salif, as well as the Hodeidah power station.

As the genocidal war on Gaza intensified, the Yemenis implemented a strategic blockade on vital maritime routes, aiming to hinder the transportation of military supplies to Israel and to prompt the international community to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced that they will continue their attacks until Israel halts its ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, where over 57,300 Palestinians have lost their lives since the war began on October 7, 2023.
