May 5, 2025

The Houthi terrorist organization said on Sunday night that they are working on imposing a “comprehensive air blockade” on Israel by repeatedly targeting the country’s airports. Three people were mildly wounded earlier that morning as a result of a missile fired by the Yemen-based terror group that crashed in the area of Ben-Gurion Airport’s Terminal 3. The IDF’s failure to intercept the missile was due to a technical error, Israeli military sources told The Jerusalem Post. Houthi military spokesman Brig.-Gen. Yahya Saree posted on Telegram that the missile strike was in response to expand its operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The decision to expand operations was agreed upon by the Israeli security cabinet on Friday night. READ MORE
