Sana'a – Israeli fighter jets launched fresh airstrikes on Sana'a International Airport, marking another escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthi movement.

According to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), the attack targeted key infrastructure used by the Houthis for military operations. Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that the strike successfully neutralized a Houthi-operated aircraft, which was allegedly used to transport militants involved in terror attacks against Israel.

The latest strike follows repeated missile and drone attacks by the Houthis on Israeli territory, prompting swift retaliation from Israeli forces. The Houthis, who have been launching near-daily assaults, claim their attacks are in response to Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

The situation remains highly volatile, with international organizations voicing concerns about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Yemenia Airlines has announced a suspension of flights from Sana'a International Airport, citing severe damage to the runway and surrounding facilities.

Israeli officials maintain that further action will be taken if Houthi attacks persist. Meanwhile, Iran, a known backer of the Houthi movement, has condemned the strikes, warning of potential consequences in the region.
