Israeli Airstrikes Target Yemen's Sanaa Airport, Power Stations

Israeli airstrikes have destroyed Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport and targeted multiple civilian infrastructures, including power stations and a cement factory, following a Yemeni missile attack that struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport. The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, stating they dismantled Houthi infrastructure in retaliation for what they called repeated missile and drone attacks from Yemen. Prior to the assault, Israel issued evacuation warnings to civilians near the airport, but raids commenced shortly after, resulting in significant damage and reports of casualties. The airstrikes also hit additional sites in and around Sanaa and Amran province, with black smoke reported over the capital and footage showing extensive destruction. The Houthi movement and Yemeni officials blame both Israel and the US for the attacks, although the US denied involvement in the initial strikes. These events have heightened regional tensions, as the Yemeni attacks were framed as acts of solidarity with Palestinians amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
