Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a drone attack on Israel's Ramon International Airport, resulting in damage to the airport's passage hall and likely injuring one person with shrapnel. The Israeli military reported that multiple drones were launched, with some intercepted, but at least one reached its target. 

The Houthis claimed responsibility for the strike, describing it as a significant military operation and warning that enemy airports are unsafe. This attack follows an Israeli airstrike in Sana'a that killed a senior Houthi leader, leading to increased aerial attacks by the Houthis, including the use of drones, missiles, and cluster munitions. The group stated their actions are in solidarity with Palestinians.

A trail of destruction left at Israel's Raman International Airport after it was hit by a drone launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The attack on southern Israel Sunday forced authorities to shut the region's airspace. According to the Israeli military, multiple drones were launched, some intercepted, but at least one made impact, damaging the airport's passage hall. One person was likely injured by shrapnel. The Houthis claimed responsibility, calling it a qualitative military operation, warning their enemy airports are unsafe. It comes just weeks after an Israeli airstrike in Sana'a killed Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rawawi. Since then, the rebels have escalated attacks, firing drones, missiles and now cluster munitions, which are harder to intercept. The Houthis have stepped up their aerial attacks on Israel in recent months, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians.
