Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree confirmed in a televised address that the group launched a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile towards Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport, Middle East Eye reports.

He said the strike “successfully achieved its objective,” saying that it sent millions of Israelis into shelters and disrupted flights.

“The unprecedented crime of genocide in Gaza has not stopped, and the siege and starvation continue in full view of the entire world,” Saree said, adding that the group “will persist to fulfil our religious, moral and humanitarian duty towards the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted”.
