Yemen hits Israel’s Ben Gurion airport with ballistic missile
Yemen’s Armed Forces have targeted Ben Gurion airport in the Israeli-occupied territories with a ballistic missile.
Yemen’s Armed Forces have hit the Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv after several attempts by the Israeli military to intercept it failed.
The missile bypassed four layers of air defense and landed in the heart of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, with both Arrow and THAAD systems failing to intercept the advanced missile.
Israeli daily Yedioth Aharonot, citing emergency services, said at least seven people were injured in the attack.
Israeli media published footage from the moment when a ballistic missile launched from Yemen made a “direct impact” in the main airport.
Who does not have the visual of the movie 300's when Leonidas throws his spear at Xerxes face to prove his mortality?! Yemen and its people will continue to suffer but they will be remembered for their fierce conviction.
Buy the ticket, take the ride!
The attack was done by the "yemeni armed forces" which is the official military of yemen.
However, yemen has been in a civil war since 2014, with command of the military split between the government and the hoithi rebels.
The spokesperson who took credit for the attack in the article, yahya saree is described by wikipedia as being part of the houthi faction.
This seems to be much less of an official yemeni military action than the text of the article might lead you to believe.
The majority of the Yemeni population is under the Houthi government. Aside from relations with other countries, they are pretty much the de facto current government of Yemen.
The Houthis are the government. The fake Western-Saudi backed rebels control less than 20% of the country and are only claimed to be the government by people halfway across the globe
We should be able to be pro-palestine and still be capable of calling this a terrorist attack. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have nothing to do with the war that could have been killed in this attack. I work in aviation, for an airline that has regular flights to Tel Aviv, and it terrifies me that I, or someone close to me could've been there.
Ben Gurion is used for military deliveries by countries such as the US. Ben Gurion airport is a military base.

A U.S. military plane landed in Ben Gurion Airport with a shipment of armored vehicles for the Israeli Defense Forces, the Israeli Defense Ministry said Thursday.
Also there is a secret nuclear missile site underneath Ben Gurion airport.
Airports are valid military targets. I am sorry that this affects you personally but that doesn't make this missile attack a terrorist attack.
Furthermore, notice how western media didn't call this Israeli air strike a terror attack. https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-rebels-airstrikes-sanaa-israel-hamas-war-8f73755ccc47a34261cc041658403b4d
It's not terrorism when you do your duty to do everything you are able to in order to stop an ongoing genocide.
So don't fucking go there.
You can always refuse to fly to Israel :)
What is complicity, what is innocence?
Yeah, the flight attendants and pilots working for e.g. Wizz Air are compliant with killing civilians in Palestine. Get a grip.
Israel is using civilians inside Ben Gurion Airport as human shield. 🤭
