Houthis claim hypersonic missile strike on ‘Israel's' Ben Gurion Airport
In a series of televised statements, the spokesperson said, 'We carried out an operation targeting Lod Airport in occupied Jaffa with a hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its objective, causing millions to flee to shelters and halting airport activity.'
The group also claimed its drone force launched three additional operations targeting 'sensitive sites' in Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and Eilat.
The Houthi military spokesperson emphasized that the attacks were part of Yemen's continued military support for Palestinians in Gaza amid ongoing 'Israeli' bombardments.
'The Yemeni Armed Forces will continue their support operations in rejection of the genocide crimes in Gaza,' he declared.

Trump says Israel has agreed to terms for 60-day Gaza ceasefire
Ammon News - President Trump announced Tuesday that Israel has agreed to an updated proposal for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza that would secure the release of some hostages. He urged Hamas to accept the deal, warning on Truth Social that "it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE." Fresh off brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after 12 days of war, Trump is now pressing for a breakthrough in Gaza, where the conflict has dragged on for more than a year and a half. The 60-day ceasefire, which has been under negotiations for months, would mark a significant step in this direction. There's no indication yet that Hamas is prepared to accept the terms of the deal. Trump's announcement followed several hours of meetings Tuesday at the White House between his envoy Steve Witkoff and Israeli Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, a top adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The two discussed an updated ceasefire and hostage-release proposal put forward by Qatar. Dermer informed Witkoff that Israel accepts the Qatari proposal and is prepared to begin indirect talks with Hamas to finalize the deal, a senior Israeli official told Axios. "Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60 Day CEASEFIRE, during which time we will work with all parties to end the War," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He said Qatar and Egypt, which have been mediating between the two parties, would deliver this "final proposal" to Hamas. "I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this Deal, because it will not get better — IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE," the president warned.
