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,

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.

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.
