Houthis vow to continue targeting Ben Gurion Airport

Yemen's Houthi armed forces on Thursday declared the hypersonic ballistic missile fired at - and intercepted by - Israel a few hours earlier a success, given Israelis had to "flee to shelters and [halt] airport operations for an hour".

The group, which has been the de facto government in Yemen for a decade, also said it would "expand its military operations" against Israel, given the increased scale of suffering in Gaza.

Attacks against Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv will continue, as will the disruption to Israel-linked vessels crossing the Bab-el-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea, the Houthis said in a statement.
