Shortly after the attack, an Israeli security official told Ynet that Israel was not a party to the Houthi-American agreement and would continue to strike Houthi objectives. “We will continue to hit the Houthis. This agreement does not bind us – they will pay the price,” said the manager.

The missile attack on Friday, which occurred at 4:24 pm while the Israelis filled the beaches and public spaces, triggered alarms in several cities, notably such as Aviv, Herzliya, Bat Yam, Bnei Brak, Holon, Rishhon Lezion, Modi’in-Maccabim-Ret and others. The Houthis said the missile was targeting Ben Gurion International Airport.
Meanwhile, large-scale pro-Houthi demonstrations took place in the capital of Yemen Sanaa under the slogan “We defeated America, we will defeat Israel”. Similar rallies have been reported to Hodeidah, Hajjah, Amran and Dhamar. Images of the demonstrations showed banners by reading: “Jaffa will continue you at your grave”, referring to the historic district of Tel Aviv.

Houthi’s military spokesman Yahya Saree said the missile was launched at the airport, while the main figure Hezam Al-Asad, which frequently publishes Hebrew threats, wrote on X: “The temporary entity is under fire.”
Sanaa demonstrators said the United States has stopped strikes without achieving any objective. “America failed and abandoned its defense of Zionist ships,” they said. “We reaffirm our commitment to defend Gaza and support resistance. We will not leave them quiet. ”
The senior Houthi Mohammed al-Bukhaiti official told the Al-Arabby chain of Qatar that support for Gaza would continue “whether by attacks against Israel or in the Red Sea”.

He pointed out that the US-Houthi agreement does not include Israel and warned that Israeli escalations in Gaza, Syria or Lebanon would cause wider reprisals. “Any Israeli escalation will justify an air and naval blockade. Our operations will continue until the end of the Gaza War,” he said.
After the interception, the Minister of Defense Israel Katz said: “The Houthis continue to dismiss Iranian manufacturing missiles in Israel. As promised, we will forcefully respond to Yemen and wherever necessary. “
