Yemen’s Armed Forces have targeted Ben Gurion airport in the Israeli-occupied territories with a ballistic missile.

Yemen’s Armed Forces have hit the Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv after several attempts by the Israeli military to intercept it failed.

The missile bypassed four layers of air defense and landed in the heart of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, with both Arrow and THAAD systems failing to intercept the advanced missile.

Israeli daily Yedioth Aharonot, citing emergency services, said at least seven people were injured in the attack.

Israeli media published footage from the moment when a ballistic missile launched from Yemen made a “direct impact” in the main airport.

      It is possible for all of the following to be simultaneously true:

      • The Israeli War Cabinet are war criminals and terrible people for slaughtering civilians in Palestine and Lebanon.
      • The Houthis are war criminals and terrible people for targeting civilians in Israel.
      • The US Trump Administration are war criminals and terrible people for killing civilians in Houthi-controlled areas.
      • Hamas are war criminals and terrible people for targeting civilians.

      While all of the above crimes are of roughly the same type (albeit for different reasons), they do differ in extent - the Israeli War Cabinet is responsible for the most suffering by a wide margin.

      I think it is a morally consistent position to condemn all of the war crimes above, although perhaps to prioritise efforts condemning the bigger ones.

        Only 1 and 3 are actually true in reality. Yemen and Hamas are not targeting civilians. The majority of Israel’s population are in the military or reservists, by choice.
