The Houthi Ansar Allah group announced on Sunday that it had carried out a military operation targeting Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel, as well as the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and a number of its accompanying naval vessels in the Red Sea.

The group's armed forces stated in a statement that they launched a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile toward Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa region. They also targeted a US aircraft carrier and several of its warships using multiple missiles and drones.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced Sunday morning that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it entered Israeli airspace, after air raid sirens were activated in several areas in central Israel.

Israeli military spokesman Avichay Adraee said, "The air force intercepted a missile launched from Yemen a short while ago before it could penetrate Israeli airspace."

The Israeli Home Front Command reported that air raid sirens sounded in various areas of central Israel, including more than 20 cities and towns, including Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and the northern West Bank.

Israel's Channel 12 reported that air traffic at Ben Gurion Airport was temporarily halted while air raid sirens sounded, while the Ynet website reported that a FlyDubai plane was forced to change course and not land at the airport.

For its part, the Magen David Adom organization said there were no reports of rocket fire or human casualties.

The Israeli military also announced last Friday that it had intercepted a missile launched from Yemen before it entered Israeli airspace. The Houthi group claimed responsibility for the operation, confirming that Ben Gurion Airport was targeted with a high-speed "Palestine 2" ballistic missile.
