Tel Aviv, September 29 (RHC)-- Yemen's Huthi rebels said they fired a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport Saturday, hoping to hit it as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived back from his address to the United Nations General Assembly.

"The missile force... carried out an operation targeting... 'Ben Gurion'... Airport," the resistance group said in a statement, adding it had named the missile "Palestine 2."
