The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen announced that they carried out an attack on Ben Gurion International Airport in Israel with 2 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) they named "Yafa".
The military spokesperson for the Houthis, Yahya Seri, announced in a written statement that they conducted a UAV attack against Israel.
"OUR UAV ATTACK WAS SUCCESSFUL"
Seri, who reported that they conducted a military operation with 2 UAVs they named "Yafa" at Ben Gurion International Airport, stated that the operation successfully achieved its goal.
Seri noted that they carried out this operation to support the oppressed Palestinian people and their fighters, and to reject the genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing that they will continue to increase and expand military operations against Israel until the attacks on Gaza cease and the blockade is lifted.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Israeli army announced yesterday via its X account that warning sirens were activated due to a UAV sent from the "eastern direction," and that the UAV was shot down.
Reports from Israel Hayom and Channel 12, which are based on military sources, indicated that the UAV was sent from Yemen and was shot down on Israel's border with Egypt.
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen had struck Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile on May 4, causing many international airlines to suspend their flights to Israel. Israel, on May 5, conducted airstrikes on the port of Hudaydah and the Bajil cement factory in western Yemen, and on May 6, it carried out an airstrike on Sana International Airport.
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen occasionally target Israel, which has resumed its violent attacks on the Gaza Strip by violating the ceasefire agreement, with ballistic missiles.
