Sat Mar 22 02:02:20 UTC 2025: ## Houthis Launch Third Missile Attack on Israel in 48 Hours
**Tel Aviv, March 22, 2025** – Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a third missile attack against Israel in 48 hours, targeting Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, according to Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting the missile on Friday, March 21st. Saree, in a televised statement, warned airlines that the airport remains unsafe until Israeli aggression against Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted. While Ben Gurion Airport’s website showed normal operations, the Houthi threat underscores escalating tensions in the region.
The attacks follow a series of US airstrikes earlier this month, the largest in the Middle East since the Trump administration, which killed at least 50 people. The Houthis, vowing retaliation, claimed responsibility for the attacks, including an alleged strike on the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea, although no evidence was provided.
This escalation comes amidst renewed Israeli strikes in Gaza, which have resulted in hundreds of casualties, ending weeks of relative calm. The Houthis, aligned with Iran and part of the “Axis of Resistance,” have conducted over 100 attacks on shipping since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in late 2023, disrupting global commerce and prompting a costly US missile interception campaign. The group claims its actions are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
