On Sunday, a missile fired from Yemen struck near Ben Gurion Airport, Israel‘s primary international airport. Social media footage captured a visible plume of smoke from a passenger terminal.
The Israeli military is currently investigating the projectile’s landing, which occurred in the airport’s vicinity. A Reuters journalist present at the airport reported hearing sirens and observed passengers fleeing to safe rooms.
Several individuals at the airport shared videos taken on their smartphones, showing a distinct plume of black smoke near parked aircraft and airport structures, although Reuters has not verified these recordings.
The Israeli ambulance service reported no serious injuries; however, a man and a woman with minor injuries were transported to a hospital, and two others received treatment on-site for panic-related symptoms.
Airport officials indicated that the missile landed near a road adjacent to a Terminal 3 parking area, with one social media photo depicting debris scattered along a bend in the road. Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been targeting Israel with missiles, claiming their actions are in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
