Katz: Israeli strikes at Yemen’s Sanaa airport destroyed Houthis’ remaining plane

Defense Minister Israel Katz confirms Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck targets at the Houthi-held Sanaa International Airport a short while ago.

In a statement, Katz says the strikes destroyed the final remaining plane in use by the Houthis. The previous planes were destroyed in a strike on the airport on May 6.

“This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we established: Whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price,” he says.

“The ports in Yemen will continue to be struck heavily, and the airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again, as will other strategic infrastructures in the area used by the Houthi terror organization and its supporters,” Katz continues.

“The Houthi terror organization will be under naval and aerial blockade, as we promised and warned. Anyone who harms us will be harmed sevenfold,” he adds.
