May 19, 2025
Sanaa [Yemen], May 19: Yemen's Houthi group will carry out military strikes targeting Israel's Ben Gurion Airport and other airports, said senior official Nasr al-Din Amer.
"This is due to the recent Zionist escalation against the Gaza Strip and the aggression against Yemen, and in continuation of the Yemeni leadership's decision to impose a ban on this airport and other airports, in addition to the naval ban and the closure of the Umm al-Rashrash port until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted," said Amer.
He warned airlines and passengers, especially foreigners, to leave for their safety.
The Houthis have carried out a campaign of attacks against Israel in self-proclaimed solidarity with Palestinians after Israel launched its assault on Gaza in October 2023. (Agencies)
