SANAA/JERUSALEM, June 4 (Xinhua) -- Yemen's Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a statement on Wednesday night that the group had launched two drone attacks on Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel earlier in the day.

"Our operations will continue until the (Israeli) aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted," Sarea said in the statement, aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV.

The Israel Defense Forces confirmed on Wednesday evening that a drone that was launched from the east was intercepted. No casualty has been reported.

The Houthi group, which controls much of northern Yemen, has been targeting Israel since 2023 to show solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

On Tuesday, the Houthi group claimed responsibility for launching what it said was a "hypersonic ballistic missile" towards Ben Gurion Airport, which was reportedly intercepted by Israel's defense systems.
