Yemen's Houthis announce "comprehensive air blockade" against Israel

Yemen's Houthi group said Sunday that it will continue launching missile attacks at airports in Israel, especially at Ben Gurion Airport, as part of its "comprehensive air blockade" against the country.

"We announce a comprehensive air blockade on the Israeli enemy in response to its decision to expand its aggression against Gaza," Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement aired by the group's al-Masirah TV.

"We will work to impose the blockade by repeatedly targeting airports, most notably Ben Gurion Airport," he said, urging international airlines to cancel all their flights planned to any Israeli airport.
