The Iran-backed Houthi terror group in Yemen claimed on Tuesday morning that they “successfully hit” Ben-Gurion Airport and a power station in Jerusalem – despite the IAF intercepting the Houthi attack.
The terror group also claimed to have thwarted a US attack with an aerial launch.
The Houthis made their claims after the IDF announced the IAF had intercepted a Houthi missile before it reached Israeli territory late on Monday night. Sirens were sounded so civilians could seek shelter from potential shrapnel resulting from the interception.
During the attack, takeoffs and landings were temporarily delayed at Ben-Gurion Airport, but they resumed within the hour.
The attack came after reports of US and UK strikes in Yemen.
Several injuries, none from the missile attack
Magen David Adom (MDA) said that an 18-year-old girl was mildly injured after she was hit by a car on her way to a shelter.
The organization noted that several people were injured on their way to a shelter, and some others were being treated for panic attacks.
