Yemen's Houthi troops fired a ballistic missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport early Wednesday, marking the second such attempt in 24 hours. According to Xinhua, the missile was intercepted at 7:41 a.m., triggering alerts and sirens in central Israel and Jerusalem.

A similar missile was intercepted on Tuesday night. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea stated that the bombings are intended to put pressure on Israel to halt its military actions in Gaza, and threatened to continue the strikes.

Separately, three rockets were launched from Gaza into southern Israel Tuesday night. Two were intercepted, and one landed in open ground. A woman was injured while traveling to a shelter, Xinhua reported.

Despite a May 6 cease-fire agreement with the United States, the Houthis have shot approximately 30 missiles and dozens of drones at Israel since March 18, according to Israeli media.
