Overview

• The Israeli military announced it has fully disabled Sanaa International Airport, citing its use by Houthi rebels for transferring weapons and operatives.
• Strikes also destroyed multiple power plants and a cement factory near Sanaa, which Israel claims were exploited for military purposes by the Houthis.
• These actions follow a Houthi missile strike near Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport, which injured six people and briefly halted air traffic.
• The Houthi-run Health Ministry reported at least five deaths and 74 injuries, though these figures remain unverified by independent sources.
• UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg labeled the escalation a 'grave' development, urging restraint as the conflict disrupts humanitarian aid and shipping routes.
