Saudi Arabia has reinstated service at its primary international airport, the King Khalid International Airport, after more than two weeks of disruptions caused by strikes from Houthi rebels in Yemen. The airport announced on Sunday that it has resumed operations for domestic flights at terminals 1 and 2. Earlier Sunday, the kingdom reported successfully intercepting and destroying a ballistic missile and a drone launched by the Houthis.
Additionally, Israel is conducting a large-scale military operation in the West Bank this weekend in response to an attack that resulted in the deaths of two Israeli soldiers and injuries to three others in Hebron on Friday. This military campaign has led to the displacement of hundreds of Palestinians and imposed significant restrictions on their movements.
The ongoing conflict in the region is occurring just days before Israel's crucial election on Tuesday, which is widely perceived as a vote on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's strategies in managing the wars and Israel's domestic and international shifts towards the right.
