Houthis Declare Ben-gurion Airport ‘no Longer Safe’ After Renewed Gaza Fighting (12813 Views)

The Houthis announced an aerial blockade on Ben-Gurion Airport and threatened any airlines that fly to Israel.
The Houthis announced a blockade on Ben-Gurion Airport and warned major airlines against flying to Israel on Saturday.

“After the success of our Yemeni Armed Forces in cutting off Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, a blockade is imposed on Ben-Gurion Airport in occupied Palestine,” the group said on X/Twitter.

The announcement comes after the Yemeni terrorist organization fired multiple ballistic missiles toward Israel in the past week.

The Houthis targeted Jerusalem with missiles for the third time in two months on Friday.
Red alert sirens sounded across Israel from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv’s surrounding suburbs due to a ballistic missile that was fired from Yemen Friday night.
The Houthis warned Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines, Air , British Airways, United Airlines, and easyJet against flying to Israel for “everyone’s safety.”

Houthis target Ben-Gurion Airport
The organization wrote that any other airlines flying to Ben-Gurion Airport would also be targeted.

“Please take the decision of the Yemeni Armed Forces seriously, as Ben-Gurion Airport is no longer safe until the aggression on Gaza stops,” the statement read.

The group’s military spokesman has also said, without providing evidence, that the Houthis had launched attacks against the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea.
According to reports by the Associated Press and Politico citing US officials, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he will send a second aircraft carrier to accompany it in the Middle East region.


The second one will reportedly be the USS Carl Vinson, which had been based in the Pacific Ocean, the report said.

The Associated Press cited the official saying the defense secretary ordered the Truman to remain in the Middle East for at least another month, as it was initially supposed to return to Virginia at the end of March. The report also said the Vinson was expected to arrive in the region next month.
The Vinson moving to accompany the Truman would be the second time that two carrier ships would be stationed in the Middle East in the past six months, the report noted. Before moving toward the Middle East, it was conducting exercises with South Korean and Japanese forces, according to the report.

“The minute the Houthis say, ‘We’ll stop shooting at your ships, [and] we’ll stop shooting at your drones,’ this campaign will end, but until then, it will be unrelenting,” Hegseth said earlier this week, adding that the airstrikes are to get the Islamic Republic of Iran’s attention, according to a US Department of Defense statement.

Double blockade now. They are about to have Israel on 100% Lock-down

Sea route blocked

Now

Only Airport blocked.


Two Options-

1-Invading Yemen and forcing a regime change. (This is a war whose outcome cannot be predicted)
2-Stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. (This is the easier more practical route)

You don’t beat guerilla warfare with brute force. The US, Israel, and coalition forces have been bombing the Houthis for over 2–3 years—and it’s not working.

The Houthis only need 10–15 men, 30 minutes, and a missile. They vanish back into the mountains before a drone can even lock on.
You can’t bomb every hill, and for every fighter killed on Monday, another is ready by Tuesday.

Fighting them is like trying to kill a bee on your testicles with a shotgun.
You may hit the bee—but you destroy yourself in the process.

The only path forward is dialogue. Otherwise, this war becomes an endless loop of pain and waste.

Civilian planes will stop flying to Ben Gurion with this kind of threat.
There is also cost consideration in warfare , if you are using billions of dollars to fight someone with catapult.
The catapult guy is winning. Why haven't they deployed all the billion dollar stuff in 3 years of the Houthis bullying them in the red sea and now the airport ?

What happened to Hezbollah? It's dead, they are past tense. Don't confuse war with nation-building. The USA were into nation-building and entrenching democracy and not war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The pattern of warfare has changed. Just bomb them into oblivion without a foot on the ground. US wins.

Your attempt at image laundering for imperial brutality is well noted. However the U.S. didn’t go to Iraq or Afghanistan to “build nations”—they flattened them, looted their resources, and left power vacuums filled with chaos.

If indeed it was nation building, why make up a non-existent weapons of mass destruction to forcefully assassinate a president ? LOL

Calling bombing “nation-building” is like calling a chainsaw a comb.
The only thing the U.S. built was a trillion-dollar graveyard—and a generation of orphans who know their flag only as the one painted on a drone.

The pattern of warfare hasn’t changed. Your PR attempt is very feeble, to say the least.

Are you the one that killed Hezbollah? Hezbollah continued to pound Northern Israel long after the death of Hassan Nasrallah until they reached a ceasefire.

Coming from a terror group that's expecting serious fire from Trump. In 24 hours, the US will see to it that Houthi targets are decimated and mysteriously, IS fighters will make 'advances' in Yemen.
If a single commercial airline is threatened with as much as a stone from Yemen, all hell will let lose. The Saudis and their western allies will have a free party in Yemen.

The Houthi fired one just few hours ago into Israel this evening. They should have asked Saudi Arabia and UAE.

Billions of dollars in war fare technology advancement I mean , learn Baba , From iron dome to David sling with less cost in interception ... Israel, US , westerners strike target and not innocent masses, these cowards terrorists make noise and run to children and women populated area to take shield . You are not inform
The US and Israel has been taking them like rats for the past month now and the reason for this empty threat ... If not the fact that these cowards terrorists hide under civilians, Israel could easily use an unman drone to take them out ... Go ask Hezbollah how far , nobody wants to lead , Israel is just on two fromt now(Syria and Gaza) much reason to quench the Houthis whose missiles always land in sea ... 2min , caboom!!!! Israel missile don take this one down

RIP to him in advance... Technology no be Cho Cho Cho o... The Israel have gone far , if not for UN and the USA , Israel can wipe Yemen off the map with their modern war armaments
Go check the technology behind pager , use by Israel to take Hezbollah leaders all the way from Israel ... Communicating with the labanese people before strike from Israel
