The strike on Ben-Gurion is notable because, while the Houthis have regularly fired off their expansive and variegated missile arsenal off at Israel, few have managed to hit their intended targets. But this particular Houthi missile managed to evade interception and hit its vital target.

A ballistic missile launched by the Houthi terrorist group struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, injuring six people and forcing a brief suspension of air traffic. The failure of Israeli and US-backed air defense systems to intercept the missile has raised serious concerns about the Houthis’ growing strategic reach.
