Timeline

On 4 May 2025, the Houthi movement in Yemen fired a ballistic missile at Tel Aviv, Israel, hitting the perimeter of the main terminal of Ben Gurion Airport while leaving a crater and damaging a road and a vehicle. The Israeli defense system failed to shoot down the missile, despite several attempts to intercept it. As a result, eight people were injured—two of whom were injured on their way to a shelter. The attack caused air traffic to stop and several major airlines to cancel their flights for a few days. The Israel Airports Authority said the attack was the first time a missile landed so close to Israel's main airport.
