Houthi rebels in Yemen have fired a missile at Israel hours after a wave of Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s main airport as the World Health Organisation’s director-general was about to board a flight there.

Three people were killed and dozens were wounded in the Israeli airstrikes, including a member of the UN plane’s crew, the UN said.
