Israel has severely weakened Hamas and Hezbollah. Now it's going after another member of Iran's so-called axis of resistance: the Houthi rebels of Yemen.

The head of the World Health Organization said he was about to board a flight in the Yemeni capital when the airport came under bombardment.

The assault killed at least four people and injured 21 others, the state news agency in Yemen reported. The strikes came after a week of attacks by the Iran-backed militia.

The THAAD, or Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, was used to try to intercept a projectile from Yemen sometime during the last 24 hours, and an analysis would determine its success, said the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels on Friday claimed to have fired a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. This came after Israel's military reported a missile had been intercepted and a day after Israel struck Sanaa's international airport and other locations in Houthi-held areas of Yemen.
