Israeli Air Force fighter jets are currently striking the Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport in Yemen’s capital, according to local media.

Explosions are reported in the area of the airport.

The IDF issued a warning ahead of the strike.

The strike comes in response to the Iran-backed group’s repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel, including a hit on Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday that wounded several people.
