Following a Houthi missile strike near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday, Air India suspended all flights to the Israeli capital until May 6. An Air India flight from Delhi was forced to divert to Abu Dhabi for safety. The missile, launched from Yemen, caused minor injuries and triggered security alerts but did not significantly damage the airport. The strike raised global aviation concerns, prompting other international carriers to review their Israel operations. Israeli authorities briefly halted flights before resuming operations. The incident marks a rare long-range hit and heightened regional tensions amid ongoing conflicts involving Iran-backed Houthis. (PC: Reuters)
