The Houthis continue to fire missiles at Israel’s population—this time targeting Ben-Gurion International Airport and the city of Jerusalem.

Israel and the United States have responded to attacks with major bombings in Yemen, but what can be done to defeat the Iranian-backed terrorist group ultimately?

JNS CEO and Jerusalem bureau chief Alex Traiman, and Middle East correspondent Josh Hasten tackle that pressing issue, in addition to Israel taking over a hospital in Gaza; Hezbollah rearming in Lebanon; and developments regarding a hostage release deal.
