Ballistic Missile Alert at Israel’s Airport – Intercepted in Time #israel #holyland

Ballistic Missile Alert at Israel’s Airport – Intercepted in Time A ballistic missile was launched from Yemen toward Israel early Sunday morning, triggering nationwide alerts. Sirens sounded across the Shephelah region, Judea, Lod, Rehovot, and Modi’in — even reaching the Dead Sea area. Within seconds, hundreds of thousands of Israelis rushed into shelters as air defenses tracked the incoming threat. The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that one missile was intercepted successfully before it could reach its target. According to Magen David Adom, no injuries or damage were reported. At Ben Gurion Airport, flights were temporarily halted and passengers moved into secure areas. The alert caused several planes in the air — including an Ethiopian Airlines flight — to delay their landing until clearance was given. A short while later, operations resumed safely, and travelers continued their journeys. This is the latest in a series of ballistic missile attacks launched by the Houthi rebels in Yemen toward Israel. A similar launch occurred just days ago, also intercepted without casualties. Once again, Israel’s air defense system proved its effectiveness, preventing what could have been a major tragedy. For a few tense minutes, the entire country held its breath — but life quickly returned to normal. #israel #idf #houthis #missileattack #benGurionAirport #ironDome #defense #middleeast #ZahiShaked #Israel #tourguide #צחי_שקד #ישראל #מדריך_טיולי
