A Houthi missile struck Ben-Gurion airport Sunday for the first time since the war began, briefly closing it just as Israel voted to expand Gaza operations.

Palestinians were increasingly concerned about Israel’s plans to expand its war and capture the entire enclave which was heavily damaged by more than 18 months of bombing.

Israel’s security cabinet voted to approve a new ground operation that includes occupying the Gaza Strip while also agreeing to a plan to take control over aid distribution.
