Israeli Air Force jets launched strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport on Tuesday, escalating a fast-moving conflict after a Houthi missile struck near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv on Sunday. The attack marks the latest in a series of retaliatory actions between Israel and Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels, with the situation drawing global attention and raising concerns over regional stability.
 
Key Highlights:
  • Israeli military jets targeted Sanaa International Airport, with explosions reported at the site. The strikes were preceded by an official warning from the Israeli military, urging all residents near the airport to evacuate immediately for their safety.
  • The airstrike comes in direct response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel, including Sunday’s unprecedented hit on Ben Gurion Airport, which temporarily halted flights and caused minor injuries.
  • Just a day prior, Israel had struck Yemen’s Hodeidah port, a critical entry point for food imports, reportedly damaging up to 70% of its docks and infrastructure and causing significant disruption to humanitarian supplies.
  • The Houthis have vowed to continue targeting Israeli airports and maritime interests, declaring an “aerial blockade” in retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza and the region.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised further “phased” retaliation, warning of continued operations against Houthi targets in Yemen and beyond.
The escalation has prompted concerns over civilian safety in Yemen, with warnings of further strikes and the risk of broader regional conflict as both sides signal readiness for continued confrontation.
