Yemen’s Armed Forces have hit the Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv after several attempts by the Israeli military to intercept it failed.
The missile bypassed four layers of air defense and landed in the heart of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, with both Arrow and THAAD systems failing to intercept the advanced missile.
Israeli daily Yedioth Aharonot, citing emergency services, said at least seven people were injured in the attack.
Israeli media published footage from the moment when a ballistic missile launched from Yemen made a “direct impact” in the main airport.
Who does not have the visual of the movie 300’s when Leonidas throws his spear at Xerxes face to prove his mortality?! Yemen and its people will continue to suffer but they will be remembered for their fierce conviction.
Israel is using civilians inside Ben Gurion Airport as human shield. 🤭
this is terrible i hope no idf pigs died
Buy the ticket, take the ride!
We should be able to be pro-palestine and still be capable of calling this a terrorist attack. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have nothing to do with the war that could have been killed in this attack. I work in aviation, for an airline that has regular flights to Tel Aviv, and it terrifies me that I, or someone close to me could’ve been there.
Ben Gurion is used for military deliveries by countries such as the US. Ben Gurion airport is a military base.
Video shows cargo planes delivering armored vehicles to Israeli Defense Forces
A U.S. military plane landed in Ben Gurion Airport with a shipment of armored vehicles for the Israeli Defense Forces, the Israeli Defense Ministry said Thursday.
Also there is a secret nuclear missile site underneath Ben Gurion airport.
Ben Gurion airport is also a civilian airport where there are civilians.
You know how you can’t show Hamas bases in hospitals but I can show you military deliveries at Ben Gurion airport?
Israel is using human shields.
Hospitals in Gaza were used by civilians yet israelis don’t give a shit about that and make the “human shield” noise after dropping bombs. Cry me a river.
Maybe Israel shouldn’t hide behind human shields
Then you should condemn the zionist regime for using civilians as human shields. It was they who chose to place terrorist infrastructure at the centre of a civilian airport.
Damn, they built civiliian infrastructure on top of military sites? That’s both evil and cowardly as shit, I detest the occupation even more now.
Nods.
Human shield type energy right there
I think you’re right in the abstract, but in Israel’s specific case, they’ve slaughtered, literally, tens to hundreds of thousands of civilian Palestinians.
In that context it’s really hard to feel that an attack against mixed use infrastructure with potential civilian casualties is a terrorist attack or a war crime.
When Ukraine bombs a road and it kills Russian civilians is that a terrorist attack?
The Israeli military should stop using Israeli citizens as human shields then.
Ooh, this is a good one.
Funny how it’s never called a terrorist attack when Israel, or any other western country, strikes an airport (or a hospital, or a school, or anything else)
woah woah woah, that’s “Good” state violence. It can’t be terrorism
only bad states and groups can do a terrorism. Mr. USA told me so!The entire length and bredth of liberal international theory is wholly contained in that “our glorious soldiers, their barbarous hordes” image
Israel has clearly established airports as acceptable targets when they bombed the Sanaa airport when the chief of the WHO was there. This is a proportional response.
Such is the reality of war, civilian infrastructure such as airports, sea ports, etc, is considered dual use (capable of being used by both civilian and military) and is usually bombed. International law does not exist, it’s a facade. Hundreds of civilians were killed or injured during the US Navy and Air Force bombing of Ras Isa Fuel Port in Yemen this month (a double tap strike), including fuel truck drivers and paramedics being immolated by the resulting fires. Israel and the United States have bombed international airports repeatedly in Yemen. Outside of Yemen, both Russia and Ukraine have targeted each other’s civilian airports. The USA, Israel and the UK are effectively at war with Yemen, they’ve conducted over 1000 airstrikes 24/7 over the past 50 days, including airstrikes on airports and sea ports that have killed and injured hundreds. The decision by Ansarallah/the Houthis to target airports in Israel did not come out of thin air, it’s a symmetrical response to the strikes Yemen has been subjected to. Israel or the USA will likely respond in kind now and attack the airport in Sana’a again soon.

boycott israel you coward
You can always refuse to fly to Israel :)
So don’t fucking go there.
“We were just bringing tourists to Nanjing!”
Oh go fuck yourself sniveling coward
If you or someone close to you could have been in this Israeli airport then I wish you had been
Airports are valid military targets. I am sorry that this affects you personally but that doesn’t make this missile attack a terrorist attack.
Furthermore, notice how western media didn’t call this Israeli air strike a terror attack. https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-rebels-airstrikes-sanaa-israel-hamas-war-8f73755ccc47a34261cc041658403b4d
There is a film called The Clerks, and there is a scene about collateral casualties of contractors when Luke Skywalker destroys death star.
