Houthi supporters from the rebel Yemeni movement Ansar Allah attacked Ben Hurion Airport in Tel Aviv using a hypersonic ballistic missile, the movement's military spokesman Yahya Saria reported.

"The missile forces carried out a military operation, attacking Ben Hurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa district (meaning Tel Aviv) using a hypersonic ballistic missile," he said on the rebel-controlled Al Masirah TV channel. According to Saria, "the operation successfully achieved its goal," and the airport's operations were suspended.

On May 22, Yemeni rebels announced two missile strikes on Ben Hurion Airport. An air raid alert was declared in several areas of Israel. According to the army press service, both missiles were intercepted.
