Yemen's Houthis said that they would impose "a comprehensive aerial blockade" on Israel by repeatedly targeting its airports, in response to Israel expanding its "aggressive" operation in Gaza.
A missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels towards Israel landed near the country's main international airport, causing panic among passengers and drawing threats of retaliation against the group and Iran.
The Houthi group claimed responsibility for the missile strike that struck near Ben Gurion Airport, the latest in a string of attacks, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The Israel Airports Authority said normal operations had resumed, after reports of air traffic being halted and access routes to the airport being blocked.
