IDF downs Houthi missile that triggered sirens in central Israel, Jerusalem area
[IsraelTimes] No injuries or damage reported in attack that the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen claim targeted Ben Gurion Airport

...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates.

rebels was intercepted by air defenses, the military said.

There were no reports of injuries or damage from the attack, which set off warning sirens in central Israel and the Jerusalem area.

The Iran-backed Houthis later issued a statement claiming responsibility for firing the missile, saying it targeted Ben Gurion Airport.

The Houthis began attacking Israel and shipping lanes in November 2023, claiming solidarity with Paleostinians in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

and the IDF.

Traffic through the Red Sea, a critical waterway for the world’s oil and commodities, has markedly dropped due to the targeting of ships, which the Houthis claim are linked to Israel.

In response to the attacks, Israel has carried out several strikes on Houthi-linked targets in Yemen, including the port city of Hodeida earlier this month.
