ADEN, May 19 (NNN-YPA) – Yemen’s Houthis, announced yesterday that, they would conduct more military operations against Ben Gurion Airport and other unspecified Israeli airports within hours, in response to Israel’s escalation of attacks in Gaza and recent strikes on Yemen.
The announcement was made by Nasruddin Amer, deputy chief of the Houthi media authority, in a statement on social media platform X.
Amer urged all airlines currently operating at Israeli airports, to depart immediately and warned all passengers to evacuate before the planned Houthi operations.
Earlier yesterday, the Israeli military said, it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen towards central Israel, where air raid sirens were triggered, prompting residents to take cover overnight.
The Houthis escalation comes, after an Oman-brokered ceasefire agreement between the Yemen-based militia and the United States, which aims to end a spate of mutual attacks. However, the deal does not extend to Israeli targets or Israeli-linked shipping.– NNN-YPA
