TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A drone launched by Yemen’s Houthi group has hit Israel’s southern airport, closing airspace and halting flights, according to the Israeli military. The attack on Sunday involved multiple drones, with at least one striking the passenger terminal of Ramon International Airport near Eilat. One person was lightly injured. The Houthis have vowed to escalate attacks after an Israeli strike killed their prime minister in Yemen. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Israel has accepted his terms for a ceasefire in Gaza and urged Hamas to do the same. There was no immediate Israeli confirmation of his claim, nor response from Hamas. Israeli strikes on Sunday killed at least 13 Palestinians, including children.
