Israelis will see “in the very near future” what Israel decided regarding a direct attack on Yemen, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.

Houthis in Yemen fired a ballistic missile that struck Ben Gurion Airport yesterday, injuring several Israelis and shutting down air travel.

Israel had ceased its direct strikes on Yemen after the US embarked on an intensified campaign against the Houthis.
