Israel conducted extensive airstrikes on Yemen over two days, targeting Sanaa International Airport and other key infrastructure in response to a Houthi missile attack on Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. The Israeli military confirmed that the Sanaa airport was completely destroyed, rendering it inoperable. The strikes, which included 20 airstrikes and 50 munitions over 15 minutes, also hit several power stations in the Sanaa area and a cement factory in Amran, north of the capital, aimed at disrupting the Houthi's military capabilities.

The attacks resulted in significant casualties, with at least three people killed and 35 others wounded, according to Houthi-affiliated media. Additionally, Houthi media reported 74 injured and three planes destroyed at Sanaa airport. The Houthis have vowed to retaliate, stating that the aggression will not go unanswered and that Yemen will continue to support Gaza.

Yemenia Airlines suspended all flights to and from Sanaa International Airport following the strikes. Power outages were reported in the Sanaa area after the targeting of power stations. Footage has emerged showing the destruction at the airport and the affected areas.
