The IDF confirms carrying out airstrikes at the Houthi-held Sanaa International Airport in Yemen a short while ago.

According to the IDF, the strike hit the airport and an aircraft used by the Houthis “to transport terrorists who advanced terror attacks on Israel.”

“Similar to the ports of Hodeida and Salif that were struck last week, the main airport in Sanaa is routinely operated by the Houthi regime and serves its terror purposes. This is another example of the cruel use made by the Houthi terror organization of civilian infrastructure for terror activities,” the IDF says.
