The Houthi militia announced this evening that it had carried out a targeting operation against Jaffa Airport, known in Israel as Ben Gurion Airport, with a Palestine 2 ballistic missile, coinciding with the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from the United States of America after he cut short his visit following the assassination of Hassan Nasr. God.

According to the information received, the Palestine 2 missile contains an explosive warhead, which is the part that explodes upon impact, in addition to an external structure equipped with two solid fuel tanks, which operate in two stages of combustion to enhance the missile’s range.

For its part, the Israeli army announced that it intercepted the missile that was launched from outside Israeli airspace, confirming that there were no casualties. Israeli accounts also circulated pictures of the remains of shrapnel that fell into one of the lines after the interception operation.

This escalation comes within the context of increasing tensions in the region, following the Israeli assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary General of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah.
