Today, Israel announced that a missile launched from Yemen struck Tel Aviv Airport, continuing the Houthi attacks on Israeli territory. The Israeli military stated that investigations are underway to determine the details of the incident.

Meanwhile, Israel expressed its readiness to respond, with Defense Minister Yisrael Katz saying, "Anyone who attacks our country will face retaliatory strikes."

Flights at Tel Aviv Airport resumed after being suspended due to the missile strike, although several airlines canceled their flights amid reports of minor injuries in the Tel Aviv area caused by the projectile.

This development came after the Israeli military detected a missile launch from Yemen and sounded sirens in multiple areas, attempting to intercept the missile before it reached its target.

It is worth noting that the Israeli escalation in Gaza since Hamas's attack in October 2023, along with increasing Houthi attacks—backed by Iran—on commercial ships in the Red Sea, is pushing the region into heightened security fragility.
