Tension in Tel Aviv: Time bomb and rocket fall near the airport.

In a dramatic security development near the city of Rishon LeZion south of Tel Aviv, the Israeli army radio announced today, Sunday, the discovery of a suspicious object that was later revealed to be a timed bomb wrapped in an Israeli flag, causing panic and leading to the complete closure of vital Route 431. The Israeli police reported that explosive experts rushed to the site, isolated the area, examined and removed the object, while ongoing sweeps continue to ensure no further threats in the area. As Tel Aviv absorbs the incident, the Israeli army reported another serious development, with a missile launched from Yemen near Ben Gurion Airport, temporarily closing it and suspending air traffic before later resuming operations. Minor injuries were reported due to the projectile, prompting several airlines to cancel flights as a precautionary measure. Defense Minister Yisrael Katz vowed a strong response, stating that "those who target Israel will be hit multiple times over." It is worth noting that the Yemeni Houthi group claimed responsibility for targeting the American aircraft carrier "Truman" and Ben Gurion Airport, adding to its previous attacks on ships in the Red Sea since the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023. The tense security situation signals a potential escalation in confrontations, as Israel continues its investigations and full alertness in an attempt to control the situation and reassure its citizens.
