A Houthi drone breached Israel’s air defenses on Sunday and slammed into an airport, blowing out a window and wounding two people, the Israeli military said.
The drone hit the Ramon Airport in southern Israel, sending shrapnel flying at a 63-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman and leaving them with minor injuries.
Footage of the aftermath showed black smoke billowing from the airport near the resort city of Eilat, causing major delays and diverting flights from the air hub.
“Takeoffs and landings at Ramon have been halted. The airport authority is working to restore operations as soon as possible,” the Israeli Airport Authority said in an initial statement.
