The missile attack launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia on Ben Gurion International Airport—Israel’s principal civilian gateway to the world—constitutes a brazen act of terrorism and war. This was not a symbolic strike. This was a direct assault on innocent civilians, global travel infrastructure, and the very notion that the Jewish state should be allowed to exist in safety and peace.

Let us be clear: this was not a failure of Israeli defence. This was a failure of the international community to treat Iran and its terror proxies as the transnational threats they are. The fact that a missile—believed to be hypersonic—evaded interception and landed near Terminal 3, injuring six people, is an indictment of every Western government that has normalised Tehran’s aggression while wringing their hands about Israel’s right to defend itself.

For years, Israel has warned that the axis of Iranian terror—Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and the Houthis in Yemen—does not stop at its borders. That axis is now projecting force deep into the heart of Israel, into its commercial air hub, attempting to hold Israeli civilians hostage to a campaign of annihilation. Had this missile landed a few dozen metres in another direction, we could be counting the dead.

What will it take for the world to wake up?

Where is the UN condemnation? Where is the European outrage? The same officials who lecture Israel on “proportionality” are deafeningly silent as a UN-recognised airport is targeted in what amounts to an attempted mass casualty attack.

Enough is enough.

We Believe in Israel calls on the British government and all democratic allies to:

• Designate the Houthis a terrorist organisation immediately.

• Hold Iran accountable under international law for directing and arming this attack.

• End all appeasement policies toward the Islamic Republic and its proxies.

• Support Israel's full right to retaliate against any and all actors involved in this atrocity.

The world must understand that Israel is not simply under attack—it is being encircled by a ring of Iranian-backed death squads. And yet, it continues to stand.

We will not be silent. We will not normalise terror. And we will never accept a world order in which Jewish lives are cheapened by cowardice, equivocation, or indifference.
