Yemen’s Armed Forces have hit the Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv after several attempts by the Israeli military to intercept it failed.

The missile bypassed four layers of air defense and landed in the heart of Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, with both Arrow and THAAD systems failing to intercept the advanced missile.

Israeli daily Yedioth Aharonot, citing emergency services, said at least seven people were injured in the attack.

Israeli media published footage from the moment when a ballistic missile launched from Yemen made a “direct impact” in the main airport.

      Yeah, the flight attendants and pilots working for e.g. Wizz Air are compliant with killing civilians in Palestine. Get a grip.

        Israel said they are ‘at war’. if you want to fly to and aid genocidaires in a war zone, that’s your problem, not ours.

          You’re aware that airline workers have no choice on where the airline flies to, right? If I get a TLV flight in my roster I can’t not go to work because Israel is commiting genocide in Palestine.

            They actually do. They can refuse to fly there. Israel’s victims, those people have no choice.

            Edit: I want to back my stance up here with an example of what I did about 3 years ago. I used to work for a small NGO and when I accidentally saw some budgeting spreadsheets and saw how much of our funding went to our board members Vs actually buying drugs and paying surveyors and community drug distributors, I quit in disgust. I took a huge pay cut from that. Like 50% of my salary just gone.

            So yeah, I think for genocide I would do the same

            I have no idea where you live, but where I live one can refuse to work if it is unsafe. Or you could just object on moral grounds and get a different job. Or you can just keep complaining online.

        they could refuse to fly to the fascist outpost and thereby put a little bit more pressure on them, but i guess no. it’s all fine, they’re just doing their job ferrying people to and from a genocidal entity.

        In a small way they are doing a little to legitimize the occupation by pretending it as a normal state. However the real culprit regarding the flight attendants and pilots are airlines like Wizz Air who are not only chosing to collaborate with a genocidal fascist regime but also to put their employees in harms way.
