Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile that struck near Israel’s main airport on Sunday, marking a rare hit of a significant target by the group, which has fired dozens of missiles since Israel’s war on Hamas began,

The attack on Ben-Gurion International Airport came hours before top Israeli Cabinet ministers were set to vote on whether to intensify the country's military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Flights resumed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv after a failed interception of a missile from Yemen on Sunday forced it to halt operations temporarily.
