The IDF attacked Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport

The IDF attacked Yemen’s Sanaa International Airport on Wednesday in response to several Houthi ballistic missile attacks fired against Israel over the last week.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said the air force destroyed the last airplane the Houthis still had to use at the airport after Israel had already struck it multiple times in the past several months.

Katz continued, saying that Israel had or was in the process of instituting an aerial and naval blockade on the Houthis to try to deter them from future attacks on the Jewish state.
