Israeli Defense Min.: Airstrikes on Yemen Send Clear Message to Houthis
Ahmed Emam Israeli Defense Minister said that the recent airstrikes carried out on targets in Yemen are intended as a 'clear message' to the Houthi Group. In a statement, the Israeli minister emphasized that the strikes were aimed at deterring further threats posed by the Houthis, without providing specific details about the nature of the targets or the scale of the operation. This development marks a significant escalation amid rising regional tensions, particularly as Israel seeks to confront what it describes as expanding threats from Iranian-backed groups across the Middle East. The airstrikes come amid growing concerns about the potential for broader conflict in the region, with several international actors calling for restraint and de-escalation. No official response has yet been issued by Houthi leadership. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

Houthis Launch Dual Attacks on Israel, with Ben Gurion Airport among Targets
Ahmed Emam The military spokesperson for Yemen's Houthi Group, Yahya Saree, announced on Wednesday that a ballistic missile was launched at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, marking a significant escalation in the group's ongoing campaign against Israel amid the war in Gaza. In a statement, Saree said that the missile strike was part of a broader 'double operation,' which also included drone attacks targeting two aerial facilities in the cities of Jaffa and Haifa, which he referred to as "occupied territories." Israel's Home Front Command reported that air raid sirens were activated in Jerusalem, the Dead Sea region, and Tel Aviv in response to what was described as a missile launch from Yemen. The Israeli military confirmed in a statement that it had successfully intercepted the missile. Israel's Channel 12 news reported that several inbound flights were forced to return mid-air after the missile alert, disrupting operations at Ben Gurion Airport. Earlier this week, the Houthi military spokesman declared the start of operations aimed at imposing a naval blockade on the port of Haifa, in response to what the group calls intensified Israeli aggression on Gaza. He urged all shipping companies to reconsider using the port, citing recent Houthi success in halting operations at Israel's southern port of Eilat. In recent months, the Houthis have increasingly asserted their involvement in the regional conflict, claiming repeated missile and drone attacks aimed at Israeli territory. They have also declared a full aerial blockade on Israel as retaliation for the ongoing military campaign in Gaza, which they accuse of causing severe humanitarian crises by blocking the delivery of food and medical aid. There has been no immediate confirmation from independent sources regarding the extent of damage from the Houthi strikes. Israel has yet to respond to the latest claims beyond confirming the interception. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies

Israel calls to evacuate Yemen airport amid fight with Houthis
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) issued an unusual message on social media Tuesday and urged everyone around Yemen's Sana'a International Airport to evacuate immediately. "We call upon you to evacuate the airport area - Sana'a International Airport - immediately and warn everyone in your vicinity of the need to evacuate this area immediately," IDF Col. Avichay Adraee said in a post translated from Arabic on X, along with a map of an area highlighted in red around the airport. "Failure to evacuate and move away from the place exposes you to danger," he added. ISRAEL STRIKES YEMEN'S PORT CITY IN RESPONSE TO HOUTHI ATTACK ON TEL AVIV AIRPORT Eyewitnesses reported four strikes in the capital city on Tuesday by the IDF, according to a Reuters report which cited the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV. Adraee did not say whether Israel was planning on striking the international airport in the Houthi-controlled capital, but the warning came one day after Israel hit Houthi targets in Yemen in response to strikes fired by the terrorist group one day prior. On Sunday, the Iran-backed Houthis launched a missile that landed near Israel's largest airport in Tel Aviv in an apparent response to Israel's newly announced expanded military operations in the Gaza Strip. ISRAEL SAYS TRUMP'S MIDDLE EAST VISIT IS THE 'WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY' FOR HOSTAGE DEAL The Houthi's vowed to hit Israel with "a comprehensive aerial blockade." Following the Houthi strike on Israel's Ben-Gurion Airport, Jerusalem scrambled some 20 jets and on Monday hit the Yemeni port of Al-Hudaydah, which is the second-largest port in Yemen and accounts for 80% of the nation's food imports.

The U.S. has reportedly denied involvement in the joint strike. The U.S. has ramped up its aerial and naval strikes against the Houthis, and since Operation Rough Rider commenced in mid-March, some 800 Houthi targets have been hit, according to an April 27 statement by U.S. Central Command.
