A missile launched by the Houthi rebels in Yemen struck near the main terminal of Israel’s airport close to Tel Aviv, reports detailed Sunday morning.
The strike, which was not intercepted by the Israeli military, temporarily paused flights, but there were no immediate reports of fatalities, The New York Times reported.
The Israel Defense Force (IDF) shared online that sirens sounded across the region “due to a projectile launch from Yemen.” The IDF is investigating the failure to intercept the strike.
The military said several attempts were made to intercept the Houthis’ missile, but the missile struck near the Ben-Gurion International Airport, the Times reported.
Israeli media reported that there were eight injured in the missile strike.
