Some global airlines have again halted their flights to and from Tel Aviv after a missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels towards Israel on Sunday landed near the country's main international airport.

Israeli jets struck the airport in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, on Tuesday in retaliation for a Houthi missile strike last weekend, according to Yemeni media.

Israel’s military targeted Houthi rebels in Yemen’s Red Sea city of Hodeida with a punishing round of airstrikes, a day after the Iranian-backed rebels launched a missile that hit Israel’s main airport.
