Strike by Yemen rebel group near Ben Gurion international airport causes US and European airlines to cancel flights
The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on Sunday promised a multi-phased response to Yemen’s Houthis after the Iran-backed militants struck the area of Israel’s main airport with a missile.
“We have acted against them in the past and we will act in the future, but I cannot go into detail … it will not happen in one bang, but there will be many bangs,” Netanyahu said in a video published on the Telegram messaging platform.
