Israeli Military Says Missile Launched From Yemen Was Intercepted
ISRAEL, JUL 18 – The Yemen-based Houthi forces launched their third missile strike in 48 hours, temporarily halting flights and causing sirens across central Israel in support of Gaza, officials said.
- On July 20, 2025, Yemen's Houthi militants fired a hypersonic ballistic missile targeting Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, but Israeli defense systems successfully intercepted it.
- The missile attack followed repeated Houthi strikes since November 2023, aimed at showing solidarity with Gaza amid the ongoing blockade and conflict.
- The missile launch triggered sirens across central Israel, including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, forcing millions to seek shelter and temporarily halting flights at Ben Gurion Airport.
- Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree declared the strike a victory supporting Palestinians and said "The strike caused mass panic and airport closures," while Israeli officials denied damage or casualties.
- This latest intercepted missile marks the third attack from Yemen in 48 hours, indicating the Houthis will continue strikes until Gaza's aggression stops and the blockade ends.
