Netanyahu says there will be 'heavy price' for missile attack claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels. Sirens sounded at Israel's main airport.
A missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted the center of Israel on Sunday, setting off warning sirens and sending passengers and staff scurrying for shelters at the country's main international airport. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to exact a “heavy price.' The episode — less than two months after a drone fired by the group hit Tel Aviv — represented a new escalation in Israel’s confrontation with the Iranian-backed rebels.
“Anyone who needs a reminder is invited to visit the port of Hodeidah” — the Yemeni coastal city, a Houthi stronghold, which was targeted after the July drone strike in Tel Aviv. The attack was praised by Hamas, with Abu Obaida, the spokesman for its armed wing, calling it a 'qualitative shift.' But some experts expressed caution about the claim that a hypersonic missile was used.
