Israel’s military says it has fully disabled Yemen’s main airport with airstrikes

  • Israel's military launched airstrikes on Tuesday that fully disabled Yemen's main international airport in Sanaa and struck nearby power plants.
  • The strikes followed a Houthi missile attack the previous day on Israel's Ben Gurion airport and came after repeated exchanges between Israel and Iranian-backed Houthis.
  • The Israeli Defense Forces reported that their aircraft disabled the main airport in Sanaa in under 15 minutes and also targeted a concrete facility, while Houthi sources confirmed three fatalities and 38 injuries from the strike.
  • Defense Minister Israel Katz called the strikes a warning to the 'head of the Iranian octopus,' and U.N. Envoy Hans Grundberg described them as a 'grave escalation' in a fragile region.
  • The airstrikes mark a significant escalation in the conflict, with Houthis threatening repeated attacks and U.S. President Donald Trump announcing the halt of further airstrikes after Houthis agreed to stop targeting shipping.
