Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, said that it was launching a complete air blockade of Israel with constant shelling of airports, calling on all airlines to suspend flights to Israel for their own safety.
"The Yemeni armed forces announce a comprehensive air blockade against the Israeli enemy in response to its expanding aggression against Gaza. We will take action to enforce the blockade by repeatedly striking airports, in particular Lod Airport, which Israel calls Ben Gurion Airport," the statement read.
