Israel strikes Yemen’s Sanaa airport, other key sites: Reports 

Multiple Israeli air raids have targeted an airport, military base and a power station in Yemen, Israeli and Houthi media said.

Sanaa airport and the adjacent Al-Dailami base were targeted along with a power station in Hodeidah, in attacks that the Houthis’ Al-Masirah TV channel called “Israeli aggression”.

There was no immediate comment from Israel on the strikes, which come a day after Yemen fired a ballistic missile and two drones at Israel.

On Saturday, a Houthi missile attack left 16 people wounded in Tel Aviv. Saturday’s incident had prompted a warning from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said he had ordered the destruction of Houthi infrastructure.

Houthi fighters in Yemen have targeted Israel and ships linked to it in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since Israel launched its assault on Gaza on October 7, 2023, following a Hamas-led attack on Israel.

The Houthis say they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war on Gaza in which Israel has killed more than 45,000 people, mostly children and women.
