Moving to the Middle East, Israel has launched airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, targeting multiple sites, including the main airport, in retaliation for a recent missile attack by Houthi rebels near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday.
On Tuesday, local time, Israeli warplanes conducted a series of airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
The Israel Defense Forces reported that the operation "fully disabled" Sanaa International Airport.
The strike also targeted power stations and a concrete factory believed to be used for military purposes.
The airstrikes were a direct response to a ballistic missile launched by the Iranian-backed Houthi group, which landed near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport on May 4 --the first time a Houthi missile had reached the vicinity of Israel's main international airport.
The Israeli strikes resulted in at least three deaths and 35 others wounded.
This marks the second straight day of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen, following previous attacks on the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah on Monday.
