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.
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.
Secret? I heard about it on Lemmy!
Ben Gurion airport is also a civilian airport where there are civilians.
Maybe Israel shouldn't hide behind human shields
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.
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?
Damn, they built civiliian infrastructure on top of military sites? That's both evil and cowardly as shit, I detest the occupation even more now.
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.
It is possible for all of the following to be simultaneously true:
While all of the above crimes are of roughly the same type (albeit for different reasons), they do differ in extent - the Israeli War Cabinet is responsible for the most suffering by a wide margin.
I think it is a morally consistent position to condemn all of the war crimes above, although perhaps to prioritise efforts condemning the bigger ones.
Morally consistent with trump calling nazis very fine people
Only 1 and 3 are actually true in reality. Yemen and Hamas are not targeting civilians. The majority of Israel's population are in the military or reservists, by choice.
Then you should condemn the zionist regime for using civilians as human shields. It was they who chose to place terrorist infrastructure at the centre of a civilian airport.
Human shields. Or does that not work when it comes to Israel?
Nods.
Human shield type energy right there
