Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis on Friday said they fired a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion airport, a day after Israeli raids pounded Sanaa's international airport and other targets in rebel areas.

A Houthi statement said they also launched drones at Tel Aviv and a ship in the Arabian Sea, stating that Israeli "aggression will only increase the determination and resolve of the great Yemeni people to continue supporting the Palestinian people".
