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.

      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.

      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.

      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?
