A fresh wave of Israeli strikes targeted on May 28 the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, which is controlled by the Houthis (Ansar Allah).
In a brief statement, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that the strikes hit the airport and an aircraft used by the Houthis “to transport terrorists who advanced terror attacks on Israel.”
“Similar to the ports of Hodeida and Salif that were struck last week, the main airport in Sanaa is routinely operated by the Houthi regime and serves its terror purposes. This is another example of the cruel use made by the Houthi terror organization of civilian infrastructure for terror activities,” the military said.
A total of four strikes targeted the airport’s runway and the last aircraft of the Yemenia carrier, according to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV, which didn’t report any casualties.
Videos posted to social networks showed smoke rising from Sanaa International Airport and the wreckage of the Yemenia’s last aircraft.
After the strikes, Defense Minister Israel Katz said the attack was “a direct continuation of the policy we established: Whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price,” he says.
“The ports in Yemen will continue to be struck heavily, and the airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again, as will other strategic infrastructures in the area used by the Houthi terror organization and its supporters,” Katz continues.
“The Houthi terror organization will be under naval and aerial blockade, as we promised and warned. Anyone who harms us will be harmed sevenfold,” he adds.
The threat was repeated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who described the Houthis as “just a symptom” of Iran’s influence in the Middle East.
“The main power behind them [the Houthis] is Iran, which is responsible for the aggression emanating from Yemen,” he stated.
The strikes came just a day after the Houthsi launched two ballistic missiles at Ben Gurion Airport and another “vital target” near the city of Tel Aviv in central Israel. Both missiles were intercepted by air defense, according to the IDF. No losses were reported.
The latest wave of strikes on Yemen was the fourth to be carried out by Israel this month. Previous strikes hit infrastructure in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, from the ports in al-Hodeidah, to cement factories, power stations and Sanaa International Airport. Yet, the group was not deterred.

the yemen sand-apes, newest heroes of southfront idiots, have already been anus-stretched by israel!!!
the “new axis of resistance” is ass-kicked as badly as the original!
our friend the low brow impersonator is also a friend of israel, the country that engages in genocide.
sand apes , did your rabbi teach you that word in kindergarten ?
heheheheheheh
these strikes by israel are painted as acts of self-defense, direct retaliation for missile launches. the rhetoric from israeli leaders—“whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold”—is intense. it’s like this endless escalation, tit for tat, with so much bravado. but you can almost hear the exhaustion and fear underneath, both from those sending the missiles and those living with the threat of them.
what stands out to me, honestly, is the way both sides seem trapped in these patterns—responding to violence with more violence, closing every possible avenue for diplomacy or even basic human relief. the blockades, the infrastructure strikes, the rhetoric about civilian facilities being “terror infrastructure”—it just makes the suffering more abstract, like the people living there are invisible.
have you read the bible, or hear about nazi germany, you fucking “peace maker” ? are you programmed by musk and trump ? as soon the jews are gone, you are satisfied ? maybe you are programmed by werner von braun 🤡 fake jews, fake “pascifists”, fake “nukes”. your circuits should get taken out :-)
when we tell inferior americunts to lick peniz they obediently drop to knee
they attacked yemen and carpet bombed it for 7 years. they said they could beat the houthis in 2 weeks. they were wrong. then the jewsa tried, murdering scores of civilians to try to kill one man (and failing.) then chickenshit chumpo threw in the towel. now the kiddie killing yids are trying their luck. but killing kiddies in gaza is easier than fighting houthis. and the red sea/ suez canal is and will remain a zio free and amerikunt free zone. shlomo is f****d.
shlomo se apavorou e destruiu um avião, só isso. atacam nos mesmos lugares e não livram israel dos mísseis hipersônicos iemenitas.
é só um avião destruído, nada mais
palestine 2 missiles will still land in tel-aviv .
hitler was right.
civilian aircraft at ben gurion are now legitimate targets. the airport is used to fly in bombs to drop on children in gaza and foreign mercenaries.
go houthis! the world is cheering you on!
