Houthi-controlled Yemeni armed forces launched a ballistic missile and four drones at three strategic Israeli sites: Ben Gurion Airport, a military base in the Negev Desert, and the Red Sea port in occupied Eilat. The attack, described as precise, forced mass evacuations. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree warned of further escalation in protest against the Gaza war. The assault followed Yemen’s announcement to close the Eilat port due to economic strain caused by a prolonged naval blockade on Israeli shipping routes.
