Houthi drone strikes an Israeli airport in rare hit as Israel steps up Gaza City attacks


On Sunday, one of several Houthi drones launched from Yemen slipped through Israel’s defense system and crashed into the passenger terminal at the Ramon International Airport near the resort city of Eilat, the Israeli Airports Authority said, sending smoke plumes billowing, diverting flights over southern Israel and inflicting light shrapnel wounds on a 63-year-old man. It's the third Gaza City high-rise leveled in as many days as Israel ramps up its offensive to take control of what it portrays as the last remaining Hamas stronghold, urging Palestinians to flee parts of Gaza City for a designated humanitarian zone in the territory’s south. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group representing many families of the Israeli hostages in Gaza, welcomed Trump's announcement Sunday and called on the Israeli government to “declare its unequivocal support for the emerging agreement and to provide President Trump with full backing until every hostage returns home.”
