Hey there, tech enthusiasts! Big news from the Middle East: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed a strong response after a missile launched by Houthi forces struck near Ben Gurion Airport. The attack, which hit the driveway leading to the main terminal, led to minor injuries and forced several international airlines to cancel flights—definitely a travel headache for many! 😮
In a firm video statement, Netanyahu declared, "We attacked in the past, we will attack in the future," making it clear that the Houthis and their ally Iran will face a heavy response at a time and place of Israel’s choosing. U.S.-deployed and Israeli defense systems were on high alert but unfortunately couldn’t intercept the missile.
The Houthis, who have ramped up missile and drone attacks in recent weeks amid renewed U.S. airstrikes on their positions in Yemen, have even announced a comprehensive air blockade against Israel. They claim this is in response to what they describe as expanded aggression in Gaza. 🚀
While the situation continues to evolve, international travel is feeling the pinch with flight schedules in disarray and heightened global tensions. Stay tuned for more updates as this dramatic standoff unfolds!
