Israel said on Sunday that the militant group Houthi launched an attack by drones that hit the Southern Airport of the Earth. The attack of drones launched the closure of air space and stopping flights to the airport and the airport, the Israeli army said on the day.
Houthis launched several drones towards Israel, said the army, adding that some of them were captured before they arrived in the ground. However, at least one drones intervened near International Ramon Airport near the southern Israeli city of Eilat.
The Israeli Office informed the airport about the closure of airspace above Ramon Airport earlier on Sunday, without providing an immediate reason for closing.
Israel is investigating the Houthi Drone attack
Israel said he was investigating the crash of the drone initiated from Yemen. While the army said the incident was reviewed, it did not provide details or the nature of the impact.
The airport is located near the resort of Eilat on the border with Jordan and Egypt mostly processes domestic flights.
Iran supported Houthis released missiles and drones thousands of kilometers north towards Israel, in what the group says are acts of solidarity with Palestinians.
Yemen’s Iran supported Houthis recently intensified attacks and released a missile on Israel. Most of the tens of missiles and drones were captured or did not achieve the targets.
The Israeli army said on Thursday that the missile released from Yemen to Israel fell in an open space outside Israeli territory and no sirens were activated, the third such release in less than 24 hours.
In May, the houthi rocket near the main airport of Israel and slightly injured four people and caused many airlines to cancel their flights to Israel for several months. Israel later struck and destroyed the main airport in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa.
Israel retailed by bombing the houthi controlled regions of Yemen, including the vital port of Hodeidah. His last blow killed higher Houthi officials, including the head of the government. Houthis, who dominate the most populous parts of Yemen, also attacked the vessels in the Red Sea since the beginning of the Gaza War in October 2023.
