According to information from the military, the projectile caused a large crater on the perimeter of Israel’s main airport, despite attempts at interception. In a video released on his Telegram channel, Netanyahu stated that Israel had already taken measures against Houthi, a group supported by Iran, and that new actions will be taken. He emphasized that the answer will not be isolated, but a series of future retaliation.
