Israel” is witnessing rapidly unfolding consequences following the airstrike carried out by Sana’a forces on Ben Gurion Airport in recent hours — an attack described by Hebrew media as an unprecedented and significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict.
Channel 12 in Israel considered the strike an unexpected intelligence breach, noting that the timing caught the entire security and military establishment by surprise.
The channel explained that the operation revealed an advanced level of coordination and an ability to bypass defense systems, raising serious questions about the effectiveness of Israel’s security and intelligence infrastructure in countering long-range attacks.
In the same context, the economic newspaper Calcalist confirmed that the strike had a direct impact on the aviation sector, leading to the cancellation of dozens of flights to and from Ben Gurion Airport — the main aerial gateway to the Israeli entity.
The newspaper added that international airlines have expressed growing concern over the possibility of repeated targeting, prompting some to suspend or review their flight schedules for the coming days.
As an indicator of the widening impact, official data showed a 47% drop in flight bookings within just 48 hours of the strike, amid increasing warnings that continued tension could lead to an almost complete paralysis of air travel and tourism.
This strike comes amid escalating threats issued by the Sana’a government against “Israel,” which has vowed to expand its operations as long as the war in Gaza continues.
Reports indicate that this operation carries a dual message: on one hand, it demonstrates the evolving capabilities of Sana’a’s forces; on the other, it targets one of the most sensitive sectors within Israel — the aviation sector.
Security and economic circles in “Israel” fear that this strike may be a prelude to a wave of further attacks that could target additional strategic sites, potentially imposing a new security reality across both civilian and military spheres — especially in light of the recent Iranian strikes received by the entity.
