Yemen's Houthis say they targeted Tel Aviv airport

Yemen's Houthis on Friday said they fired a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, following reports from the Israeli military that a missile had been intercepted.

The Houthi movement's new claim came a day after Israeli air strikes targeted Sanaa International Airport and other locations in rebel-controlled areas of Yemen.

In a statement, the Houthis said they also launched drones at Tel Aviv and a ship in the Arabian Sea, saying that Israeli "aggression will only increase the determination and resolve of the great Yemeni people to continue supporting the Palestinian people".
