"The air defenses" penetrated ... a Houthi march targeting the arrival hall at the Israeli Ramon airport with a rare attack

 

• - The Israeli army and the Israeli Airport Authority announced on Sunday that a Houthi plane targeted the arrival hall at Ramon Airport in southern Israel. The Israeli army confirmed that the sirens were not launched, adding that the incident was under investigation.
• It is rarely not to the alarm bicycles to warn of the projectiles coming to Israel, which has a multi -class defense system against missiles and drones. The vast majority of drones that the Houthis launched in Yemen were intercepted before targeting Israel.
• A spokesman for the Israel Airport Authority said that the southern airspace over Ramon Airport is closed to the movement of aircraft, but the airport was reopened after about 90 minutes. Ramon Airport is one of the few international airports in Israel, and mainly serves the city of Eilat in the southern part of the country.
• Videos posted on social media showed shattered windows and glasses covered with glass in the airport arrival hall.
• The Red Star of Daoud, the Israeli emergency response service, announced that she had received a report at 2:35 pm local time, reported by the Israeli missile defense agency (MDA) that a drone fell in the Ramon Airport area. The agency stated that two people were slightly injured as a result of the attack.
• So far, no immediate comment from the Iranian -backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, who fired rockets and marches repeatedly at Israel in protest against its war in Gaza.
• In early May, a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis hacked the Israeli air defenses, targeting Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, which led to the suspension of flights for about 30 minutes. The Israeli "Arrow" missile failed to stop the Houthi missile before it hit it. This was the first time that the Houthis were able to hit a well -fortified goal.
• Israel and the Houthis have been involved in a long -term escalating conflict since the Iranian -backed rebel group began targeting Israel, as the group's leaders describe as solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza. The Houthis also targeted the movement of navigation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, which are one of the most important waterways in the world.
• After the Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile equipped with a new type of cluster warhead in late August, Israel carried out a raid that resulted in the killing of the Prime Minister of the group and other senior officials. An Israeli security official said that the raid, which was carried out on the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, resulted in the killing of the "majority of the leadership", including the Foreign Minister, the Minister of Security Affairs and others.
• When asked if the chief of staff and the defense minister of the Houthi government were killed, the official said: "If they are not killed, we will continue to track them."
• Israel also carried out strikes on Houthi military targets and a civilian infrastructure that the Israeli army says the rebel group is using it.
