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.
We should be able to be pro-palestine and still be capable of calling this a terrorist attack. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have nothing to do with the war that could have been killed in this attack. I work in aviation, for an airline that has regular flights to Tel Aviv, and it terrifies me that I, or someone close to me could've been there.
Ben Gurion is used for military deliveries by countries such as the US. Ben Gurion airport is a military base.
Video shows cargo planes delivering armored vehicles to Israeli Defense Forces
Also there is a secret nuclear missile site underneath Ben Gurion airport.
Ben Gurion airport is also a civilian airport where there are civilians.
You know how you can't show Hamas bases in hospitals but I can show you military deliveries at Ben Gurion airport?
Israel is using human shields.
Afaik only Israel said Hamas used the hospitals, back when they lied about their genocide attempts.. Tbf I don't even care if Hamas did, using children as a shield is still not as cruel as actually fucking bombing them
Not to mention tens(hundreds?) of thousands of innocents shelled by the IDF. And decades of abuse at the hands of the Israeli population. And the complete ignorance that Hamas, before being forced to become ~~terrorists~~ resistance fighters for Palestine, was elected by the people as government of Gaza in 2006, to regain some order after the last time the Israeli government attacked Gaza. And some dimwit rose-tinted fucks still have the audacity to complain about October 7th and support the elimination of the Palestinian and Muslim population headed by Netanyahu.
I'm always on the side of the oppressed. And against evil States. Go Yemen.
Human shields. Or does that not work when it comes to Israel?
Nods.
Human shield type energy right there
I think you're right in the abstract, but in Israel's specific case, they've slaughtered, literally, tens to hundreds of thousands of civilian Palestinians.
In that context it's really hard to feel that an attack against mixed use infrastructure with potential civilian casualties is a terrorist attack or a war crime.
When Ukraine bombs a road and it kills Russian civilians is that a terrorist attack?
Airports are valid military targets. I am sorry that this affects you personally but that doesn't make this missile attack a terrorist attack.
Furthermore, notice how western media didn't call this Israeli air strike a terror attack. https://apnews.com/article/yemen-houthi-rebels-airstrikes-sanaa-israel-hamas-war-8f73755ccc47a34261cc041658403b4d
It's not terrorism when you do your duty to do everything you are able to in order to stop an ongoing genocide.
So don't fucking go there.
You can always refuse to fly to Israel :)
There is a film called The Clerks, and there is a scene about collateral casualties of contractors when Luke Skywalker destroys death star.
What is complicity, what is innocence?
Yeah, the flight attendants and pilots working for e.g. Wizz Air are compliant with killing civilians in Palestine. Get a grip.
