In a dramatic escalation, the Houthis have fired a ballistic missile that successfully struck the compound of Israel’s only international airport—Ben Gurion. Despite the deployment of advanced defense systems like Arrow 3 and the U.S.-supplied THAAD, the missile slipped through, marking a disturbing breach in Israel’s air defense capabilities. Al-Miyadin, a Hezbollah-affiliated outlet, reports that this was a new type of rocket, developed specifically to bypass existing missile defense systems. Could this signal a turning point in the regional balance of power?

With major airlines like Lufthansa and Swiss Air suspending flights once again, Israel’s air connection to the outside world is being severed. Ben Gurion is more than just an airport—it’s a lifeline for a nation surrounded by hostile actors. The implications of this strike are massive: from potential retaliation plans to the terrifying reality of Israel’s narrow geography, especially from vantage points in Samaria that overlook the heart of the country. This video breaks it all down—footage, analysis, and what may come next.
