In a statement broadcast by its media outlets, Houthi spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree called on international airlines to take the warning seriously to "preserve the safety of their travellers", saying that the decision came into effect immediately.

Sareei said, "We will impose the siege by repeatedly targeting Israeli airports, especially (Ben Gurion) International Airport near Tel Aviv."

The announcement followed the group's missile launch at Israel’s main international airport, which struck near an access road, causing panic among passengers.

Multiple international airlines cancelled or postponed flights. The war with Hamas in Gaza and the conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon led to a wave of airlines suspending flights to Israel. Many had resumed in recent months.

Israel has vowed to respond to the Houthi attack in "sevenfold".
