Israeli warplanes bombed the main international airport in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, on Tuesday, the Israeli military said, two days after the Houthi militia in Yemen launched a ballistic missile that hit near Israel's main airport.
The Israeli attack is the latest blow in an ongoing battle with the Iran-backed Houthis, who rule Sanaa and much of northwestern Yemen.
They have launched dozens of rockets and drones toward Israel in what they call a campaign of solidarity with the Palestinians to pressure them to end the war in Gaza.
The extent of damage to Sanaa International Airport is not clear. The travel hub connects more than 20 million Yemenis living in Houthi-controlled territory to the rest of the world.
Before the attack, the Israeli military had issued a call on social media threatening the airport and ordering everyone nearby to evacuate.
