**Netanyahu Promises Retaliation Following Houthi Missile Strike Near Ben Gurion Airport**

Following the missile strike that resulted in several injuries, Netanyahu asserted Israel’s resolve to counter the Houthis, tying the firepower to Iran's influence and indicating a forthcoming decisive military response. The incident saw widespread disruptions, including the temporary halt of flights at the airport.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a stern warning to the Houthi movement in Yemen, pledging to retaliate decisively after a missile struck near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday. The attack resulted in injuries but was reportedly mitigated by the airport's quick closure. Netanyahu, referencing past military actions, emphasized that such confrontations with groups backed by Iran will initiate future retaliations, stating, “We attacked in the past, we will attack in the future.” In the wake of the missile strike, which injured at least four people, emergency protocols were activated, including sirens throughout various regions.

The missile launch prompted the Israeli defense minister to declare a potentially overwhelming counter-strike, emphasizing the government’s commitment to respond vigorously to threats. Airlines began suspending operations to the airport following the attack, which occurred as Israeli defense systems faced criticism for failing to intercept the Houthi projectile. The missile strike reflects ongoing tensions between Iran-backed rebels and Israel, particularly as the Houthis vowed to escalate their military actions in response to Israel's military operations in Gaza.
