Israel has bombed Yemen's Hodeidah port following a missile attack by the Iran-aligned Houthis on Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. The attack, which is the first known missile to bypass Israel's missile defense system since March, comes as part of Houthi solidarity with Palestinians amid Israel's expanded operations in Gaza. Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed retaliation, while the Houthis announced plans for a "comprehensive" aerial blockade on Israeli airports, warning international airlines to avoid Israeli airspace. The Houthi rebels have previously targeted shipping in the Red Sea and Israel's missile defense system has intercepted most attacks.
