Israel launched on May 6 another wave of strikes against the Houthis (Ansar Allah), mainly targeting the Yemen capital of Sanaa.
The strikes came in response to the May 4 Houthi missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel. Six people were wounded in the attack which forced many airlines to suspend flights to Israel for days. Later, the group announced that it will be imposing “a comprehensive air blockade” on the country in response to the war on the Gaza Strip.
In an initial response, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) struck on May 5 the al-Hodeidah port and a concrete factory near the nearby city of Bajil in western Yemen. Two people were killed and more than 40 others were wounded in the attack. The military released footage of the strikes.
The IDF said that its new attack “completely disabled” Sanaa International Airport, claiming in a statement that the facility was used by the Houthis “for transferring weapons and operatives, and is regularly operated by the Houthi regime for terror purposes.” Aunways, aircraft, and infrastructure were hit at the airport, according to the military
Dozens of Israeli Air Force aircraft were involved in the strikes on May 6, including fighter jets, refuelers, and spy planes, per the IDF.
The IDF also said that it targeted several “central” power stations near Sanaa, which it claimed were used by the Houthis, along with a cement factory in the city of ‘Amran, north of the capital, which it claimed was used by the group to construct infrastructure and tunnels.
The military alleged that the strike on the concrete factory “constitutes a blow to the regime’s economy and its military buildup.”
Before the attack, the IDF issued an unprecedented “urgent” warning to civilians. In a post to the X social network, the IDF’s Arabic-language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee, said, “We call upon you to evacuate the airport area immediately and warn everyone in your vicinity of the need to evacuate this area immediately.”
This was the IDF’s seventh attack on Yemen since the beginning of the war in Gaza, and the second since January of this year.
Israel had refrained from responding to Houthi attacks since the United States launched a large-scale operation against the group in Yemen last March.
So far, the operation has failed to deter the group or to degrade its military capabilities. While the IDF’s attacks on infrastructure in Yemen will worsen the humanitarian situation in the war-torn country, they will not fare any better than the U.S. operation.

os shlomos não atacam alvos militares do yemen mas sim estruturas civis. são fracassados por não atacarem alvos militares. acham que a fumaça do aeroporto de saná vai resolver alguma coisa. yemen tem que bombardear ben gurion da mesma maneira.
sand-apes go “boom-boom, bye-bye”!!!
heheheh
i’ll throw you a banana. just close your dicsuckin mouthpart, because it stinkos from there. have you swallowed a dead and rotten skunk?
how many thousands of years does it take for the jew to live in peace? nobody really knows
funny picture of israeli planes! they just show refueling that could come from anywhere, that means it wasn’t them who bombed except for the retarded who believe them
its 2,100 miles from israel to yemen. the f35 that israel uses has a combat range of 590 miles. the us has two aircraft carriers off the coast of yemen in the red sea. so, either the israelis did 6 aerial refuelings over saudi arabia or the us hit yemen and is staying quiet because there isn’t an authorization for war from the us congress.
that’s 8 round-trip refuelings, conclusion: it’s propaganda, so it’s the united states who did it, we agree.
you should study better those numbers, 2,100 is the overall trip isr-yem-isr while 590 miles is the combat radius. so definitively not impossible for idf, especially f-15is. an air tanker can give enough range to cross pacific ocean, as example. maybe usn did also attacks but why they should not say it while they told us any attack they did until now?
no. even f-14 or f-18 can’t reach it without refuling several times like 5 times.
the only f-14 remained is the iranian fleet, f-18 depends where they are, if on a carrier there is no problem to hit yemen, you don’t need to take off from israel. f-15s has about 1,000 miles combat range (the ferry range exceeds 3,000 miles!) so with 2-3 ifr the mission is surely possible for them, notice how they used f-15 instead f-16 or f-35, evidently f-15s did the best combat range mission profile.
israel terrorizing more neighbors . zionists love to hate
americans did this, not zio cunts.propaganda is obvious.
go houthis! the world is cheering you on!
5 countries now have hypersonic missiles. russia. china. iran. north korea. and yemen. nice to see that $1 trillion plus jewsa war machine budget is so well spent.
they spend hundreds of billions of dollars pounding sand
well done houthis..trumpstein cannot land his plane in hell aviv. mission accomplished. jewish apes go crazy
chumpo has chickened out. shlomo is on his own.
