The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced late on May 15 that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen by the Houthis (Ansar Allah) was intercepted by air defenses.
Sirens sounded across central Israel and the Jerusalem area amid the attack. Later, Hebrew media reported that a large chunk of debris from the intercepted Houthi ballistic missile landed in the settlement of Alon Shvut in the occupied West Bank.
While there were casualties, operations at Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel were reportedly disturbed by the missile attack.
The Houthis intensified their attacks on Israel since the United States halted on May 6 a large-scale military operation it launched in Yemen earlier in mid-March. The group even vowed to impose what it called “a comprehensive air blockade” on the country.
Between March 13 and 14, Houthis launched three “hypersonic ballistic missiles” at Ben Gurion Airport. All three were intercepted, according to the IDF.
Following the attacks, the IDF issued an “urgent” evacuation warning for three Houthi-controlled ports in the western Yemeni province of al-Hodeidah. However, no strikes were reported. This was the second time Israel issued such a warning without taking action this week.
Since March 18, when the IDF resumed its offensive in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have launched some 34 ballistic missiles and at least 10 drones at Israel.
Only one of the missiles managed to reach its target, hitting Ben Gurion in May. Six people were wounded and several airlines suspended flights to Israel as a result of the attack. The IDF claims that all other missiles were either intercepted or fell short.

israel would humiliate (and they already did) the houthis to levels unimaginable. i guess after hezbollah, they are next.
the big reason hezbollah is out for now is the saa were a bunch of weirdos and surrendered to this terrorist gang for no good reason.
israel got a huge bit of luck and they still can’t land a knockout blow.
only fools watch dumb videos.
oh dear, soon ben gurion will be smoked. then the little black hats won’t be able to bug out with all the hundreds of thousands of others who were smart enough to get out earlier. will the last shlomo please turn off the lights on the way out.
