Houthis threaten to blockade Haifa port after Ben Gurion strike

Yemen’s Houthi movement said it plans to impose a naval blockade on Israel’s Haifa port, one of the country’s largest cities, a spokesman for the group said on Monday.

The announcement follows missile strikes by the Houthis on Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said one of the missiles used was a hypersonic “Palestine-2.”

He added that the group had also launched a combat drone toward the Israeli airport on Saturday morning. Israeli officials have not yet responded to the claims.
