Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will hold a meeting by telephone with Defense Minister Israel Katz and other top defense officials after the Houthis in Yemen struck Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile, says an Israeli official.

The 3 p.m. meeting will examine potential responses, including a direct Israeli strike on Houthi assets in Yemen.

At 7 p.m., Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet in person to discuss the expansion of the military campaign in Gaza, fighting in Syria, the Houthi attack, and more.
