Israeli Airstrikes Target Houthi Infrastructure in Yemen, Killing Three

The attacks, which struck Sanaa's airport and key facilities, are part of Israel's response to Houthi drone and missile assaults tied to Iran-backed forces.

• Israeli airstrikes in Yemen targeted Houthi-controlled infrastructure, including the international airport in Sanaa, ports, and power plants.
• At least three people were killed and 17 injured, according to the Houthi-run Health Ministry, with significant damage reported to the airport's control tower, departure hall, and runways.
• The strikes coincided with a televised speech by Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi, though he did not directly address the attacks.
• The Israeli military stated the operations were aimed at disrupting Houthi use of civilian infrastructure for weapon smuggling from Iran and retaliating against repeated drone and missile attacks on Israel.
• WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and his team were at Sanaa's airport during the strikes but were unharmed; one crew member was injured, and their departure was delayed due to runway damage.
