The UN also expresses alarm after Israel approves a new plan that may include seizing all of Gaza indefinitely and controlling aid.

Israel’s security cabinet on Sunday approved an expanded military operation in Gaza that would include relocating the enclave’s entire population to the south, according to an Israeli official, while a minister described the plan as a move to “conquer” the territory.

The Israel Defense Forces will gradually enter tracts of northern and southern Gaza and stay long term to root out Hamas fighters and destroy their tunnels.

Israel’s military said several attempts to intercept the missile were unsuccessful. It left a crater near at Israel’s main international airport.

A missile launched from Yemen towards Israel on Sunday landed near Ben Gurion Airport, the country's main international airport, where footage shared on social media showed a plume of smoke visible from a passenger terminal.
