US EditionA missile from Yemen halts flights in Israel hours before top officials vote on plans for Gaza war
- On May 4, 2025, a missile launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck near Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, briefly halting flights and commuter traffic.
- The attack followed repeated missile launches by Iran-backed Houthis against Israel throughout the Gaza war, which began in 2023, as an act of solidarity with Palestinians.
- Israeli forces reported several interception attempts before the missile landed, forming a crater several dozen metres wide and deep near the airport, a tightly secured site.
- Defense Minister Israel Katz promised a strong retaliation, warning that any attack against Israel would be met with a response seven times as severe, while the airport returned to normal operations roughly an hour after the incident.
- The incident highlights the Houthis' sustained capability to target distant sites despite ongoing US and Israeli military strikes and occurs hours before Israeli officials vote on escalating Gaza war plans.
