00:00Scenes of suffering played out in Yemen's capital overnight, after 10 airstrikes that
00:06Houthis have blamed on the United States.
00:09These latest strikes and a string of near-daily bombings of Yemen were carried out after yesterday's
00:13Houthi attack on the Ben Gurion airport in Israel.
00:18As sirens rang out in the airport halls, travelers sought shelter from a Houthi missile, which
00:23was aimed at the terminal.
00:25The impact was caught by security cameras and filmed here by passersby.
00:32In the aftermath of the attack, Houthi leadership said they would continue to target Israeli
00:41airports.
00:42The Yemeni armed forces announced that they will impose a full aerial blockade on the Israeli
00:48enemy by repeatedly targeting airports, foremost among them Lod Airport, known by the Israelis
00:54as Ben Gurion Airport.
01:00All international airlines are urged to take this statement seriously.
01:07Israel's security cabinet met on Sunday to discuss the incident, which marked a serious
01:12breach of the country's much-flaunted missile defense system.
01:16On social media, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that the attack would not
01:22go unpunished.
01:23We are acting against them.
01:25We have acted in the past and we will act in the future, but I can't go into the details.
01:29The U.S. in coordination with us is also acting against them.
01:33It will not happen in one bang, but there will be many bangs.
01:36The Houthi strike came a few hours before Israel's cabinet was set to vote on expanding the war in
01:41Gaza.
01:43On Saturday evening, the Israeli military announced that it would be mobilizing thousands of reservists
01:48in hopes of strengthening its campaign against Hamas.
