US EditionHouthi drone hits Israeli airport; 1 person injured
The Houthi drone strike on Ramon International Airport injured eight people, caused damage, and temporarily closed airspace amid rising tensions linked to Israeli actions in Yemen and Gaza.
- On Sunday, a Houthi-launched drone struck Ramon International Airport near Eilat, forcing temporary airspace closure while Magen David Adom reported one minor injury.
- The strike follows an Israeli attack on Sanaa, Yemen, that killed Houthi prime minister Ahmed al-Rahawi two weeks ago, prompting the Houthis to vow intensified attacks on Israel and Red Sea shipping routes.
- The IDF said at least four suicide drones were launched, initially shooting down three with two intercepted before Israeli airspace, while the fourth drone evaded detection and struck Ramon International Airport's passenger hall without air-raid sirens.
- Airport authorities halted flights at Ramon International Airport on Sunday, then resumed services within hours; Magen David Adom treated eight people, and damage appeared limited, the Israel Airports Authority said.
- The Houthis claimed responsibility and Nasruddin Amer hailed it as `a unique, qualitative military operation`, warning foreigners to avoid Israeli airports amid recent attacks using cluster munitions.
