Missile from Yemen triggers air raid sirens and flight disruptions in Israel
Published May 29th, 2025 - 06:55 GMT The Houthi group pledged to impose air and maritime sanctions on Israel as long as what they called "Israeli atrocities" against Palestinians continue. ALBAWABA- Air traffic at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily halted on Friday after a missile launched from Yemen triggered sirens across Jerusalem and the greater Tel Aviv area, according to Israel's Channel 12 and an official military statement. The Israeli army confirmed that the projectile, fired from Yemen, set off air raid alerts in central regions, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The Home Front Command also reported the sirens, and Israeli media later confirmed that the missile was intercepted in mid-air. Footage circulating on social media showed what appeared to be an interception attempt over the Givat Samwil settlement in occupied Jerusalem.

Houthis-affiliated Al-Masirah TV reported that four airstrikes targeted the runway at Sanaa Airport and a Yemenia Airways plane. ⭕️عاجل⭕️مراسلنا في #صنعاء: 4 غارات لطيران العدو الإسرائيلي استهدفت المدرج في مطار صنعاء وطائرة تابعة للخطوط الجوية اليمنية — قناة المسيرة (@TvAlmasirah) May 28, 2025 Details about the extent of damage and possible casualties remain unknown. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, stating that the attack destroyed the final aircraft still in use by the Houthis. He added that Israeli forces would continue to target Yemeni ports, Sanaa Airport and other strategic infrastructure used by the Houthi movement and its allies. 'The Houthi terror organization will be under naval and aerial blockade,' Katz stated. Commenting on the operation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Israel would continue to retaliate forcefully against any attack. He also accused Iran of being 'the primary force behind the aggression from Yemen.' However, Iran denied involvement in the Houthi operations, asserting that the group acts independently. Since the resumption of the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip on March 18, the Houthis have carried out a number of attacks on Israel, the most recent of which were attacks yesterday on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv and 'a strategic Israeli facility', according to a statement by Houthis. The Israeli army has conducted multiple strikes on Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen since the Iran-backed group began targeting Israeli shipping in the Red Sea and launching long-range missiles at Israel in solidarity with Gaza, where the death toll has reached 54,056 and 123,129 have been wounded since October 7, 2023. In March 2025, the United States launched a large-scale military campaign, codenamed Operation Rough Rider, targeting Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. Over 1,000 air and naval operations targeted radar systems, missile sites, and air defense installations. The US President Donald Trump announced earlier this month a halt to US strikes following a ceasefire agreement under which the Houthis pledged to stop targeting maritime traffic. The truce did not extend to Israel, and Houthi attacks on Israeli interests have continued.
