Iran International:

Iran-backed Houthis launched another missile towards Israel on Sunday, with the Israeli military reporting an impact near Ben-Gurion Airport.

It comes as the Iran-backed group continues almost daily aerial attacks on the Jewish state amid the ongoing war in Gaza, in spite of warnings from the US that Iran will be held accountable for the Houthis' military actions.

A statement from the Israeli military said: "Following the sirens that sounded in a number of areas in Israel, several attempts were made to intercept the missile launched from Yemen. A fall was identified in the area of Ben-Gurion Airport. The incident is under review."

Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz suggested there will be a military response.

"He who harms us is harmed sevenfold," he said on Sunday.

Data from the Israeli military in January said that 40 surface-to-surface missiles have been fired towards Israel. Until that point, there had been one fallen projectile and two partial interceptions.

Another 320 UAVs had been fired towards Israel, over 100 of which intercepted with two effective hits until that date. The remainder fell in open areas, failed to reach Israeli territory or caused no significant damage.

Former minister of defense, Benny Gantz, was quick to point the blame at Iran which has long backed the group financially and militarily.

"It is Iran that is firing ballistic missiles at the State of Israel, and it must bear responsibility," he wrote on X.
