A drone launched from Yemen by the Houthi militant group has hit Israel’s southern airport, closing the airspace and halting flights, the Israeli military said Sunday.
Israel said the Houthis launched multiple drones, some of which were intercepted outside of Israel. At least one hit near the Ramon International Airport near the southern Israeli city of Eilat.
In May, a Houthi missile hit near Israel’s main airport, injuring four people lightly and causing many airlines to cancel their flights to Israel for months. Israel later struck and destroyed the main airport in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
