Houthi missile interception failure due to technical error

A Houthi missile rocked the Ben-Gurion Airport area Sunday morning, and IDF sources, spilling the beans to The Jerusalem Post, pinned the failure to intercept it on a pesky technical error. No human screw-up, no fancy new Houthi toys—just a glitch in the system.

 
The military, quick to flex, boasted that since the war kicked off, the Israel Air Force has swatted down Houthi missiles with a 95%+ success rate, intercepting dozens like it’s no big deal.

 
The strike left a mark: three lightly wounded, per Magen David Adom. 

A 50-year-old man, a 54-year-old woman, and a 32-year-old woman—caught in the chaos, the latter hurt dashing to a shelter—got medical attention. The blast also tore up the access road to Terminal 3. First time a Houthi missile’s hit Ben-Gurion, but not the first to hit Israeli soil.

 
Defense Minister Israel Katz didn’t mince words, vowing, “Whoever harms us will be struck sevenfold in return.”
