A nuclear missile launched by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels struck close to Israel’s busiest heat gateway, Ben Gurion International Airport, early on Sunday, leaving a large crater close to the country’s busiest airport.
A crater apparently 25 meters wide and several meters deeply was created by the impact site, which is located close to Terminal 3, less than a kilometer from the runway. Although the blast caused concern in the area and caused a temporary suspension of aircraft operations, it did not cause any damage to the terminal structures or runways.
The Jewish military acknowledged that it made several attempts to capture the weapon, but that it was unsure whether the crater was caused by the projectile itself or by bits from the defense systems. Eventually, the Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the Houthis ‘ rocket launch in Gaza in support of Palestinians.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, issued a notice in response. In a video posted on Telegram, he said,” We have acted against them in the history and we will work against them in the future, but I cannot go into specifics.”” It will not happen in one knock, but there will be some curls,” he said, according to AFP.
Additionally, the harm caused go disruptions. As a precaution, an Air India flight ( AI139 ) from Delhi to Tel Aviv was diverted to Abu Dhabi. At the time of the attack, the Boeing 787 apparently was only one hour away from getting. In addition, Lufthansa Airlines announced the cancellation of all flights to Tel Aviv until 6 May in response to the event.
