Saudi Arabia reopens airport as attacks by Houthi rebels persist, and other Mideast news
Saudi Arabia has reopened its main King Khalid International Airport for international flights after more than two weeks of closures due to devastating strikes by Houthi rebels from Yemen. The airport announced that terminals 1 and 2 have resumed operations, following an earlier interception and destruction of a ballistic missile and a drone fired by the Houthis.
Meanwhile, a major Israeli military operation in the occupied West Bank has displaced hundreds of Palestinians and imposed restrictions on their movement, occurring just days before Israel's critical election on Tuesday.
