Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, disclosed on Wednesday that their fighter jet attacked Houthi targets at Sanaa aircraft in Yemen following the team’s release of two projectiles in Israel the day before. According to Katz in a speech,” Air Force jet have only struck evil targets of the Houthi criminal organization at the airport in Sanaa and destroyed the previous aircraft remaining.” Whoever burns at the State of Israel may pay a high price, he added, and that is a clear message that is a culmination of our policy.
Houthi internet later confirmed the Israeli airstrikes at the airports. The Iranian-supported party intercepted a missile and another missile launch from Yemen, prompting the military action. The Houthis, who rule large portions of Yemen, later admitted to having fired two “ballistic weapons” at Israel. The Houthis have persistently launched missiles and uavs at Israel since October 2023, following Hamas’s assault on Israel and the ensuing Gaza issue. The Yemeni forces, supporting Palestinians, resumed their operations after a two-month peace in the Gaza area when Israel resumed its military operations there. A missile launched in the first months of May in the vicinity of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv, causing many international flights to Israel to be canceled. Israel has launched numerous retaliatory strikes in Yemen, aiming specifically at Sanaa aircraft and slots. The Israeli government confirmed that the group’s airplane were destroyed on Wednesday. According to the army,” The Houthi criminal organization used the aircraft struck for the transfer of jihadists who advanced terrorist strikes against the state of Israel.” The Houthi government continues to operate Sanaa’s main airport, adding,” In the same way that the Hodeida and Salif jacks were struck last year and are used by them for terrorism.”
