Houthi Missile Strike on Ben Gurion Airport Injures One in Israel

Air raid sirens sounded across multiple areas of Israel on Sunday (04.05.25) following a ballistic missile launch by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Journalists from AFP reported hearing explosions in Jerusalem and near Tel Aviv’s airport. The missile, reportedly fired by the Houthis towards Israel, landed near Ben Gurion Airport, causing minor injuries to a person in the parking area. Surveillance footage captured the moment of impact as the missile struck a grove adjacent to an access road within the airport’s perimeter. The Israeli Defense Forces attempted to intercept the missile using anti-aircraft defense systems, according to a military statement. Investigations are ongoing regarding the effectiveness of the interception efforts, with reports confirming debris landing in central Israel without specifying the exact location.
