A missile launched by Houthi rebels in Yemen briefly halted flights and commuter traffic at Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport, causing panic among passengers and leaving a plume of smoke. The attack, which occurred hours before top Israeli Cabinet ministers were set to vote on expanding military operations in Gaza, was met with vows of retribution from Israeli officials. The Houthis have been striking Israel in solidarity with Palestinians since the war in Gaza erupted in October 2023. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz vowed to harm those responsible 'sevenfold.' The Israeli security Cabinet is set to vote on plans to expand the fighting in Gaza, with Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir calling for a 'powerful' expansion of the war.

An Israeli airstrike on a school compound in central Gaza's Al Bureij camp killed at least 22 people, including seven children, and injured dozens more. The strike occurred as Israel intensified its military operation in Gaza, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announcing plans to displace the population to the south. The Israeli military claimed it targeted 'terrorists' operating within a Hamas command center, but locals expressed anger at Hamas for hiding among civilians. The strike exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where over 2,500 Palestinians have been killed since Israel resumed its bombardment on March 18. Aid agencies warned of a 'deepening catastrophe' as Gaza's healthcare system teeters on collapse due to Israel's blockade.
