Israeli warplanes bomb Yemen’s Sana’a airport, power plants
The Israeli regime has bombed the international airport of the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, as well as several major power stations, in a continued escalation of its aggression against the Arab country.
Israeli media reported that the occupation forces targeted the passenger terminal, civilian aircraft, and service facilities at Sana’a International Airport.
Airstrikes also hit Dhahban and Haziz electricity stations, as well as oil installations, fuel centers, and the Amran Cement Factory in northern Yemen. Al-Dailami Air Base, located in northern Yemen, was also among the sites struck.
According to Yemeni media, most of the locations targeted in this wave of attacks had already been bombed multiple times before.
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a member of Ansarullah’s Political Bureau, told reporters following the strikes that the Yemeni army will respond firmly to the aggression.
“We will respond to escalation with escalation. There are many enemy sites we have not yet targeted,” he said.
The renewed air raids came just two days after the Yemeni army launched a strike on the main airport in the Israeli-occupied territories as part of its broader efforts to halt the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
On Monday night, dozens of Israeli warplanes also bombed the port city of Hudaydah.
Since March, the United States, along with Britain and Israel, has carried out multiple airstrikes on Yemen, claiming to have hit more than 1,000 targets.
The campaign aims to halt Yemeni military operations against Israeli and Israeli-linked vessels in the Red Sea as well as attacks targeting military sites deep within the occupied Palestinian territories.
