Summary

Israel carried out air strikes on Sanaa International Airport, destroying Yemenia Airways' last civilian flights following a projectile attack. The strikes were part of a broader pattern of attacks by the Houthi group, whose primary aim is to maintain control over Yemen and influence its foreign policies, including supporting Palestinian enclaves like Gaza and their actions in the Red Sea region. Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized that Israel would respond decisively if such targeted damage occurred again, signaling the ongoing tensions in Yemen's conflict with Iran-backed factions.
