Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the country would deliver "multi-directional" strikes in response to a Houthi missile strike near Ben-Gurion International Airport. Netanyahu made a statement via video address.

"We have tried before and will continue to do so. "This is not the only blow - we will have many responses," he said.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Kac also issued a sharp warning: "Whoever strikes us, we will respond seven times stronger," AFP quoted him as saying.

According to NDTV, a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis from Yemeni territory landed just 75 meters from Terminal 3 of Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. As a result of the explosion, a crater appeared on the ground at a depth of 25 meters.

Following the incident, several international airlines temporarily suspended flights to Israel. Officials did not provide information about the victims.
