Houthi Missile Shot Down Over Israel | Sirens Sound In Tel Aviv | Ben Gurion Airport Targeted | N18G

On June 3, sirens sounded across Tel Aviv, central Israel, Jerusalem, and parts of the West Bank after a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted by Israeli air defense systems. The Houthis, an Iran-backed group in Yemen, claimed responsibility, stating the missile targeted Ben Gurion Airport. The attack occurred shortly before the start of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Residents were alerted in advance through mobile push notifications from the Home Front Command. No injuries or damage were reported in this incident. Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of missile and drone attacks at Israel, most of which have been intercepted. A rare successful strike earlier this month caused minor injuries near Ben Gurion Airport. The latest missile fire came in response to an Israeli airstrike last week on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, which destroyed a plane used by the Houthis.
