Israeli occupation authorities were forced to shut down Ben Gurion International Airport early Thursday after a missile was launched from Yemen, Hebrew media reported.

Flights were abruptly grounded at the regime’s most important airport, underscoring the growing reach of the resistance front that now extends from Gaza and Lebanon to Yemen.

The closure of Ben Gurion — the occupation’s primary international gateway — highlights the vulnerability of the Zionist entity in the face of expanding regional solidarity with Palestine. The move caused widespread disruption, with air traffic diverted and passengers stranded amid fears of an incoming strike.

The missile launch comes as part of coordinated resistance efforts across the region to confront Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Analysts note that Yemen’s continued operations against the Zionist regime demonstrate both military precision and steadfast commitment to defending the oppressed people of Palestine.

Hebrew media outlets have been issuing constant updates, though under an official blackout regarding potential casualties or damage. The silence from occupation authorities has fueled speculation about the missile’s effectiveness and exposed the anxiety within Israel’s political and military establishment.

Observers say the temporary shutdown of Ben Gurion — a symbol of Israel’s global connectivity — serves as both a material and psychological blow. It reveals that the occupation, despite its military arsenal and foreign backing, remains insecure and under threat from determined resistance movements across the region.

With Gaza under relentless bombardment for nearly 23 months, regional forces have escalated their operations, ensuring that the occupation pays a price for its war crimes and continued aggression against the Palestinian people. (ILKHA)
