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.

The attack was done by the "yemeni armed forces" which is the official military of yemen.

However, yemen has been in a civil war since 2014, with command of the military split between the government and the hoithi rebels.

The spokesperson who took credit for the attack in the article, yahya saree is described by wikipedia as being part of the houthi faction.

This seems to be much less of an official yemeni military action than the text of the article might lead you to believe.
