Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels on Friday said they fired a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, after the Israeli military reported a missile had been intercepted.
The latest claimed attack by the Huthis came after Israeli raids pounded Sanaa's international airport and other targets in rebel-held areas of Yemen on Thursday.
A Huthi statement said they also launched drones at Tel Aviv and a ship in the Arabian Sea, stating that Israeli "aggression will only increase the determination and resolve of the great Yemeni people to continue supporting the Palestinian people".
Israel's military earlier Friday said "one missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory."
There was no immediate comment on the other attacks claimed by the Huthis.
On Thursday, Israeli warplanes attacked Sanaa airport where the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said he was waiting for a flight.
Four people died in the airport attack and around 20 travellers and staff were wounded, a Huthi official said on Friday. The WHO chief said one of his plane's crew was among the injured.
The strikes against what Israel's military called rebel "military targets" left six people dead in total, according to Huthi media, and came a day after the rebels claimed missile and drone attacks on Israel.
Sanaa's international airport resumed services at 10:00 am (0700 GMT) on Friday, the Huthi official, Deputy Transport Minister Yahya al-Sayani, told a press conference.
The airport's control tower was "directly hit," along with the busy departure lounge, he said.
On Friday, the top of the control tower was a bombed-out shell and large windows in the airport building were shattered, with glass littering the ground.
"The attack happened when there were a lot of passengers and a plane departing at 7:00 pm," Sayani said.
"There was another plane planned to land and it did land directly after the attack."
Sanaa airport, which reopened to international flights after a six-year gap in 2022, offers a regular service to Jordan's capital, Amman, on Yemen's Yemenia airline.
