On Saturday evening, Houthi rebels launched a ground-to-ground missile at Tel Aviv Airport. This occurred as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to the country, according to Yemen's Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Huthi.
According to him, the missile launch was directly dedicated to his arrival in Israel.
The Israel Defense Forces stated that the missile, fired at least thirty minutes after Netanyahu's plane landed at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, was intercepted by air defense systems outside the country.
Additionally, in a televised address, Abdul Malik al-Houthi vowed that the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah would not be in vain. His statement came just hours after the Lebanese terrorist organization confirmed that Nasrallah had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday.
"These great sacrifices and great injustice will not be wasted," said the Houthi leader.
He also added that his Iranian-backed militants aim to improve their performance following previous missile and drone strikes against Israel.
