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.

There is a film called The Clerks, and there is a scene about collateral casualties of contractors when Luke Skywalker destroys death star.

You need to read more, Yemen is the only state upholding the Geneva convention to genocide, it is not a terrorist attack. by complaining to us and not your superiors and aiding in the flow of money to said airport, you are also a party to genocide. take a look in the mirror before you begin parroting such nonsense again.

The Israeli military should stop using Israeli citizens as human shields then.

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 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.

So the choices are either lose your job or support Israel?

Yep. Support genocide or quit seems like an easy question to answer.

Yeah but have you considered that they weep in sorrow and have minor migraines afterwards? Oh the pain and suffering these "hapless", "choiceless" white collar workers have to go through!

So people should just quit their jobs because the CEO of the Airline decided not to suspend flights to Israel?

the person that replied to you already provided one of many examples that people in that position could do. The people that are oppressed, that don't have the luxury of having a permanent roof over their heads (any makeshift camps eventually gets destroyed with the people in it as well by the entity), that have their children stolen from them, whether metaphorically or literally, or become orphaned themselves, etc etc don't get to have a say in the matter.

To equate them to fucking flight attendants that are perfectly capable of taking even the most minimal of actions, which at worst case could get them a slap on the wrist, is absurd, disgusting and vile, lib.

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

A U.S. military plane landed in Ben Gurion Airport with a shipment of armored vehicles for the Israeli Defense Forces, the Israeli Defense Ministry said Thursday.

Also there is a secret nuclear missile site underneath Ben Gurion airport.

Hospitals in Gaza were used by civilians yet israelis don't give a shit about that and make the "human shield" noise after dropping bombs. Cry me a river.

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.

Human shields. Or does that not work when it comes to Israel?
