A Houthi political official says the group will continue attacking Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians despite the escalating Israeli air strikes in Yemen.Mohammed al-Bukhaiti told the BBC that the Houthis would "escalate our military targeting of Israel" until it stopped what he described as "the genocide in Gaza".

The Houthis have ramped up their attacks on Israel, while Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu says the fight against the militant group “is only getting started.”

Flights were scheduled to resume again on Friday at Sanaa international airport, officials said, a day after the airport was hit by Israeli strikes.
