US bombed Yemen after rebels' strike on Israel airport: Houthis
The Straits Times

Yemen's Houthis on May 5 accused the US of carrying out strikes in and around Sanaa, after the Iran-backed rebels claimed a missile strike on Israel's main airport.
-
The Houthi-run Saba news agency said the strikes included two targeting Arbaeen street in Sanaa as well as one on the airport road, blaming them on "American aggression".
Sixteen people were wounded, Saba cited the Houthis' Health Ministry as saying.
The accusation came after Israel said a missile fired from Yemen struck inside the perimeter of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv on May 4.
The Houthis claimed responsibility, saying they fired a "hypersonic ballistic missile" at Ben Gurion, Israel's main international gateway.
The missile gouged a wide crater in the ground near an airport carpark, wounding six people and forcing airlines to suspend flights.
The Houthis, who control swathes of Yemen including the capital, have launched missiles and drones targeting Israel and Red Sea shipping throughout the Gaza war, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a tough response against the Houthis, as well as its main backer Iran, over the attack.
