At least three killed as Israel bombs Sana'a airport, power plant, port
Israeli warplanes have conducted multiple airstrikes on several strategic sites in Yemen, including Sana’a International Airport, amid heightened regional tensions over Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip.
The regime launched air raids on the airport in the capital, Sana’a, and the adjacent al-Dailami air base as well as a power plant in the port city of Hudaydah on Thursday.
The Israeli military said its strikes also targeted other facilities at Hudaydah, Salif and Ras Kanatib ports.
Yemeni sources said the strikes left three people killed and 14 others wounded or missing.
Two of the victims lost their lives in the strikes at Sana’a airport that also injured 11 others, while one person was killed and three were missing at Ras Issa port.
The strikes reportedly took place during a speech by the leader of Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
Israeli officials have vowed to strike Yemen after the country ramped up its attacks on Israeli targets in retaliation for the genocidal war on Gaza.
Commenting on the strikes, Ansarullah's spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam said in a post on X, “Targeting Sana'a International Airport and other civilian infrastructure is a Zionist crime against all the Yemeni people.”
He stressed that such attacks won’t stop Yemen from conducting operations in support of the Palestinian people.
“If the Zionist enemy thinks that its crimes will stop Yemen from supporting Gaza, it is delusional, and Yemen will not abandon its religious and humanitarian principles, God willing.”
استهداف مطار صنعاء الدولي وغيره من البنى التحتية المدنية إجرام صهيوني بحق كل الشعب اليمني، وهذا هو ديدن هذا العدو المجرم قاتل الملايين من الشعب الفلسطيني ومرتكب جرائم الإبادة الجماعية في غزة.

Since the onset of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, Yemeni forces have carried out scores of operations in support of the war-hit Gazans, striking targets throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, in addition to targeting Israeli ships or vessels heading towards ports in the occupied territories.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed at least 45,361 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 107,803 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.
