A missile launched towards Israel on Sunday landed near Ben Gurion Airport, the country's main international airport, where footage shared on social media showed a plume of smoke visible from a passenger terminal.


The Israeli military said it was investigating the fall of a projectile launched from Yemen, which landed in the vicinity of the airport.


A Reuters reporter at the airport heard sirens and saw passengers reacting by running towards safe rooms.


Several people at the airport posted videos filmed on smartphones that showed a plume of black smoke visible nearby, behind parked aircraft and airport buildings. Reuters has not verified the videos.


Airport authorities said the projectile had landed on a road near a Terminal 3 parking lot.


One photo shared on social media showed a bend in a road covered in debris.
