Yemeni missile leaves 'crater' near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport

A "crater" was left near Israel's main international airport after the army said it attempted to intercept a missile launched from Yemen.

In a video from the scene near Ben Gurion Airport, Yair Hezroni, the police's central district chief, pointed to the "missile impact".

"You can see the area just behind us: a crater was formed here, several dozen metres wide and several dozen metres deep," he said.

Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, which caused no casualties.

The Houthis have launched numerous attacks on Israel in support of the Palestinians since the beginning of Israel's war on Gaza in October 2023.
