The injured were hospitalized in hospitals in central Israel. Two more people were taken under the care of medical staff due to panic attacks.
Israel's main international airport reopened its airspace about an hour after the attack. Despite this, the German airline group Lufganza canceled all flights scheduled for arrival at the airport. Ben-Gurion. The Spanish airline Air Europe also canceled flights between Tel Aviv and Madrid.
The Houthis, through their military spokesman Yahya Sari, claimed responsibility for the attack. In a televised speech, he also warned that the Israeli airport was "no longer safe for air travel." One of the senior members of the movement, Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, told the Qatari TV channel Al-Arabi that the rebels had demonstrated their ability to strike vulnerable targets in Israel and that now there are "no red lines" in their fight against the Jewish state.
