Houthis Hit Ben Gurion Airport with Missile; Israel Weighs Response; Iran Possible Target

Joel B. Pollak 4 May 2025

A ballistic missile fired by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen struck the ground inside the perimeter of Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, leading Israeli officials to prepare a response to Yemen — or Iran.

The missile struck “a grove adjacent to an access road, inside the airport’s perimeter,” the Times of Israel noted, after triggering sirens across central Israel and evading Israel Defense Forces (IDF) missile defenses.

If you want to bring Iran to its knees, knock out their refineries.

Only problem with that is... I sense the Iranians have taken great pains to harden and protect their nuclear weapons sites so well that the Israelis (or we) can't "get to them" using normal, conventional weapons (even the "big ones").

It's going to take non-conventional weapons on an entirely different level to reach and destroy the Iranian sites.

You know what that means...

Iran probably already has a nuke. Just looking for justification to use it.

If so, and I doubt it, how would they deliver it?  Camel?
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

In theory they could do enough damage to the surrounding area that the weapons would be unusable.
