The Houthi movement in Yemen has escalated military action by firing a hypersonic missile at Israel's Ben Gurion airport, following Israel's breaking of a ceasefire in Gaza. This marks the second attack in quick succession, as the group's spokeman claimed success in achieving their objective. In response to US airstrikes in Yemen, which have resulted in significant casualties, the Houthis have signaled intentions to broaden their target range, suggesting a volatile regional context as violence continues to escalate on multiple fronts.
"The Yemeni armed forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Ben Gurion airport… with a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said on Thursday."
"The US has targeted Yemen with waves of strikes since Saturday, and the Houthis have declared they will escalate their attacks, including on Israel, in response."
