Netanyahu says killing Nasrallah is key to restoring the balance of power and retrieving hostages

The Houthis said they fired a rocket at Israel’s Ben-Gurion Airport upon Netanyahu’s arrival today.

According to a statement from the group, the missile fired by the Houthis was a “Palestine-2 ballistic missile.” It is currently not clear whether this was the same missile that set off the sirens in central Israel and was intercepted by the IDF today.

The Houthis said this was done “in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and in response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza and Lebanon” and that this action “will not stop until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon ceases.”

“The Yemeni Armed Forces, together with all the honorable and free people of the nation, will continue to respond to the crimes of the Israeli enemy and will not hesitate to increase the level of escalation in response to the demands of the stage and participate in the defense of Gaza and Lebanon said the group.

In a statement on its website, Ben Gurion Airport said the airport was operating “as planned, including departures and landings.”
