SANAA: IDF took to the Social Media to boast that on Tuesday (6th May, 2025) it had attacked and completely wrecked the main airport here killing three people and destroying seven planes in the process.
The retaliation came one day after Iran-backed Houthis attacked Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile, Israel launched air strikes on Yemen on 5th May, by means of thirty fighter jets. It may be recalled that Ben Gurion Airport remained closed for half-an-hour Sunday (4th May, 2025) when a ballistic missile fired from Yemen landed within the airport’s perimeter, injuring eight people, destroying one vehicle and a road. Interestingly, the IDF failed to intercept the Houthis’ missile by means of long-range Arrow interceptor.
the advanced THAAD anti-missile system, deployed here by USA too failed to stop the the missile from Yemen. Due to half hour closure flights were halted at the airport. This incidence exposed Israel’s venerability and the ability of Houthis to strike Israel.Claiming responsibility Houthis pointed out that Sunday’s missile attack was in retaliation for the attack on Sana’a airport carried out recently. Houthis further warned the global airlines that they were unsafe at Ben Gurion Airport. Defence Minister of Israel warned: “Whoever harms us, we will strike them seven-fold.”
