'Israeli' President Herzog flees stadium after missile sirens sound
Israeli Occupation President Isaac Herzog evacuated the stands of Bloomfield Stadium in Tel Aviv on Thursday during the final match of the 'Israel' State Cup, following the sounding of air raid sirens triggered by a ballistic missile attack launched from Yemen.
According to Hebrew media, sirens echoed across southern Tel Aviv while the match was underway, sparking panic among spectators and players who fled the pitch. President Herzog was immediately escorted to a secure location.
Once the state of alert was lifted, Herzog returned to his seat, and the match resumed in front of approximately 30,000 spectators, amid a tense and fearful atmosphere.
The Houthi movement claimed responsibility for the attack, stating that the missile targeted Lod Airport (Ben Gurion Airport) in the occupied city of Jaffa. The strike reportedly led to a temporary suspension of air traffic and forced thousands of settlers into bomb shelters.
The attack comes in response to what the Houthis described as 'Israeli' airstrikes on Sana'a International Airport, which destroyed the only functioning civilian aircraft at the facility.
