Yemen Monitor/Newsroom:
The Houthi group announced on Sunday evening the imposition of a comprehensive air blockade on Israel in response to the military escalation in Gaza, amid reports revealing the failure of Israeli defense systems to intercept a missile launched from Yemen.
The military spokesperson for the Houthis confirmed that the group would target Israeli airports, especially “Ben Gurion” International Airport (Lod Airport), calling on international airlines to cancel their flights to “Israel” to ensure the safety of their aircraft.
On the other hand, investigations by the Israeli occupation army revealed a defect in an interceptor missile belonging to the American “THAAD” system, which led to the Yemeni missile penetrating air defenses and falling near Tel Aviv.
Israeli media indicated that the missile created a crater 25 meters deep, causing injuries to 8 people.
In response to the attack, the Prime Minister of the Israeli occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, threatened a “suitable response,” accusing Iran of supporting the Houthis. Several international airlines also announced the temporary suspension of their flights to “Israel.”
