give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future
updates. Houthi ballistic missile slams
into Israel's international airport.
On Sunday, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched another ballistic missile
on Israel, but this time,
instead of the projectile landing in the desert or being intercepted,
as with most prior such
launches, the Houthis scored a direct hit
on Israel's major international airport in Tel Aviv.
Quote, a ballistic missile fired by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels
in Yemen impacted the grounds of the Ben Gurion Airport
on Sunday morning, injuring six people,
none of them seriously, according to the Times of Israel.
The blast occurred in a grove of trees alongside
an access road close to the airport's main terminal number three,
several hundred yards from the airport control tower.
The military said there were several failed efforts
to intercept the missile as it was inbound.
An impact was identified in the area of Ben Gurion Airport,
an IDF statement stated.
U.S. supplied THAAD missiles as well
as the air defense system failed to intercept the ballistic missile.
Israel's defenses tend to be most effective.
The type of shorter range missiles launched by Hamas
and Hezbollah were obviously both
much closer.
While over the course of the Gaza war,
Houthi missiles have impacted in the vicinity of
Tel Aviv and central Israel.
This was the first time that grounds within
the international airport have ever been hit.
Emergency authorities have indicated
that several civilians were injured.
but there were no casualties.
Pressure is likely to increase on Iran over this attack,
given the Trump administration has alleged Tehran
is behind basically all Houthi decision-making,
which all Iranian leaders have overwhelmingly denied.
Ladies and gentlemen,
So much for the Iron Dome.
God bless you and yours.
Please share.
And subscribe, always remember that anything's possible
in bizarro worlds, especially with hypersonic missiles.
