Houthi rebels said they would impose a "comprehensive" aerial blockade on Israel by repeatedly targeting its airports.

A missile launched by Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen briefly halted flights and commuter traffic at Israel’s main international airport.

A source within Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, widely known as the Houthis, has told Newsweek the group possesses new weapons capable of enforcing a newly announced aerial siege against Israel, whose military said it's on high alert to thwart all emerging threats to the nation's skies following a weekend attack on its busiest airport.
