Israel struck Houthi targets in Yemen on Monday night, an Israeli security source said, one day after a ballistic missile struck Tel Aviv’s international airport.

The rebels’ media office said the United States and Israel launched at least six strikes Monday afternoon that hit the crucial Hodeida port.

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.
