Fox News
The U.S. is striking Yemen's capital after Iran-backed Houthis launched a missile that struck near the main terminal of Israel's Ben-Gurion airport in Tel Aviv.
Since March 15, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) "has conducted an intense and sustained campaign targeting the Houthi terrorist organization in Yemen to restore freedom of navigation and American deterrence," a U.S. Defense official told Fox News Digital on Monday. "We will continue to increase the pressure and further disintegrate Houthi capabilities as long as they continue to impede freedom of navigation."

Earlier Monday, Yemen’s Houthis vowed to continue attacks on Israeli airports after the missile briefly halted flights and commuter traffic at Israel’s main international airport near Tel Aviv. The Houthis issued a warning to airlines that they would carry out "repeated targeting" of Ben Gurion Airport, Israel’s main gateway to the world.
The Houthis had already threatened late Sunday to implement "a comprehensive aerial blockade" on Israel as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Cabinet was set to vote to expand fighting in Gaza.
