ADEN (Reuters): The Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Yemen's main airport in Sanaa on Tuesday, its second attack in two days on Iran-aligned Houthi fighters, after the group launched a missile attack near Israel's Ben Gurion Airport.

Three people were killed in the latest Israeli strike, according to Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV.
