The Yemeni Houthi group reported on Saturday that it had targeted Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a hypersonic missile for the third time in 48 hours, Anadolu Agency reports.

In a statement, the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said: “In support of the oppressed Palestinian people and their brave resistance, our missile forces successfully targeted Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Jaffa with a hypersonic Palestine 2 missile.”

He noted that this attack was “the third in 48 hours and successfully achieved its target.”

This marks the fifth time a missile has been launched from Yemen toward Israel since the ceasefire agreement on Jan. 19, which Israel later violated.

Saree also warned all airlines that “Ben Gurion Airport is no longer safe for air traffic and will remain so until the aggression on Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.”
