DOHA, May 29. /TASS/. Houthi rebels from Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement have carried out another strike on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the movement said in a statement on military spokesman Yahya Saree’s Telegram channel.

According to the statement, the strike was delivered with a hypersonic ballistic missile. It is claimed that the "operation achieved its goal" and the airport’s operations were temporarily disrupted.

The Houthis assured that they will continue to "fulfill their religious, moral and humanitarian obligations" with regard to the people of Palestine and won’t cease their attacks on Israeli targets until aggression unleashed by Israel against the Palestinians is stopped.

Earlier, the press service of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported intercepting a missile launched from Yemen. Air raid sirens sounded in some parts of Israel.

After the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip in 2023, the Houthis warned that they would launch strikes on Israeli territory while barring ships associated with the Jewish state from passing through the waters of the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait until Tel Aviv ceased its military operation against Palestine's group Hamas in the embattled enclave. The Houthis have attacked dozens of civilian vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

The attacks ceased following the introduction of a ceasefire regime in the Palestinian enclave in mid-January of this year. However, after the ceasefire was derailed in early March, the Houthis declared the resumption of strikes on Israeli vessels in the Red Sea and resumed their attempts to attack Israeli targets, including Ben Gurion Airport.
