May 4, the Houthis announced that they had fired a hypersonic missile at Ben-Gurion International Airport in Israel and hit the target. According to Israeli media reports, Israel used the "Arrow" anti-missile system and the "THAAD" anti-missile system deployed by the US military to intercept incoming missiles, but failed. The Israeli Prime Minister's Office said in a statement that evening that Israel would retaliate against the organization and its ally Iran in response to the missile attack on Ben-Gurion International Airport by the Houthis in Yemen.

According to media reports, the Israel Defense Forces issued a statement saying that on the same day, Israeli warplanes attacked nearly 2000 kilometers and launched air strikes on the infrastructure of the Houthis in and around the port of Hodeida, Yemen, in response to previous attacks by the Houthis on Israel. The Israeli army said it dispatched about 20 fighter planes and fired about 50 munitions, hitting dozens of targets, killing and injuring at least dozens of people and destroying port facilities and cement plants.

Local residents said that almost all facilities in Hodeida Port were destroyed or damaged. Several private factories were also destroyed in the air strikes. According to the health department of the Houthis, two people were killed and 42 injured in the attack on the Bajar cement plant. It is reported that the Bajar cement plant is located east of the port of Hodeida. According to the Israeli army, the factory is not only an important economic resource for the Houthis, but also used to build military tunnels and other military infrastructure .
