Israel says it intercepted another missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeting Tel Aviv airport.

Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility Friday for launching a ballistic missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, which "achieved its objective," although the Israeli military quickly denied this report and said in a statement that it had intercepted it.

"The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces (Houthis) carried out a qualitative military operation against Lod Airport, known in Israel as Ben Gurion Airport, in the occupied region of Jaffa (Tel Aviv), using a hypersonic ballistic missile and successfully achieved its objective," said the military spokesman for the Yemeni rebels, Yahya Sarea.

According to the Houthi spokesman, "the interception systems failed to intercept it," although the Israeli army stated in a previous statement that anti-aircraft defenses shot it down.

Sarea insisted that they continue to ban Israeli or Israeli-linked vessels from sailing in the Red and Arabian Seas, despite the ceasefire agreement reached last Tuesday with the United States aimed at ensuring the safety and stability of navigation in this region.

The agreement only concerns attacks by the Yemeni group, an ally of Iran , on ships in the Red Sea, and the Houthis themselves have warned that they will not stop attacking Israel until the war in Gaza ends.

It's worth remembering that last Sunday, the impact of a Yemeni projectile on Tel Aviv International Airport (the first such incident since the start of the war) led several airlines to temporarily cancel flights to Israel, although the incident resulted in no casualties. Only one person was reported injured in the Houthi attack.

Airlines such as Air France, Yemen Airways, Lufthansa Group, and even Sana'a Airport suspended flights to Tel Aviv due to the security situation. Several of these airlines even extended this period following the recent incidents.

In response to the Houthi offensive, the Israeli army launched a bombing raid on Sana'a International Airport on Wednesday . According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, the airport was used by rebels in Yemen for the "transfer of weapons and operatives."

"The airport, like the port of Al Hodeidah, which was attacked last night, is used by the Houthi terrorist organization for the transfer of weapons and operatives and is continuously operated by the Houthi regime for terrorist purposes," the Israeli military said in a statement.

Israel claims to have "completely" dismantled this civilian infrastructure by attacking its runways, airport buildings, and the aircraft themselves.

Along with the airport, the Israeli Air Force bombed "several energy plants" in the Sana'a area, claiming that the Houthis were also exploiting these resources.

North of the Yemeni capital, Israeli aircraft attacked the Al Imram concrete plant, "which serves as a major source of funding for the Houthi terrorist regime and is used for the construction of underground tunnels and other terrorist infrastructure," according to the military statement.
