Israel Launches Airstrikes on Sanaa Airport in Yemen Amid Escalating Tensions

Israeli fighter jets have launched airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, following an unprecedented evacuation order issued earlier today (06.05.2025). The attacks mark a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Houthi rebels. Military forces from Israel warned residents to immediately evacuate the area surrounding the airport, emphasizing the imminent danger posed by the strikes. In a rare move, Israel has targeted Yemen directly, with approximately 20 fighter jets participating in the operation, dropping 50 munitions on strategic locations including the port of Hodeidah and a nearby supply warehouse. This marks one of the few instances where Israel has issued such warnings specifically for Yemen, as opposed to similar operations in Gaza and Lebanon. Footage released by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) shows the impact of these strikes, which are aimed at crippling the economic and military capabilities of the Houthi regime.
