A Houthi missile struck Israeli soil near Tel Aviv’s largest airport on Sunday, causing multiple international airlines to cancel flights to Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised retaliation for Sunday’s attack and plans to attend several defense meetings throughout the day. According to Israeli media, the missile bypassed both Israeli and U.S. missile defenses.

“Whoever harms us, we will strike them sevenfold,” said Defense Minister Israel Katz.

Lufthansa, Swiss, and Air Europa were among the airlines to cancel flights to Israel, though they expect to resume service on Monday.

IDF troops operating in southern Gaza discovered weapons caches, dismantled numerous terrorist infrastructure sites, and neutralized several terrorists in the area.

The missile strike comes days after Israel was forced to cancel its independence day celebrations due to wildfires raging throughout the country.

Massive wildfires erupted near Jerusalem on Wednesday, leading to road closures and mass evacuations that brought the country to a standstill. Israel traditionally marks its independence with a torch-lighting ceremony, but instead aired footage of the rehearsal ceremony.

Jerusalem District Fire Department Commander Shmulik Friedman told the press on Wednesday that the wildfires may be “the largest fire ever in the country” and warned that high winds could exacerbate the blaze later in the day. He also warned that Israel was “far from control” of the fires.
