Sanaa Airport out of service after destructive Israeli airstrikes.

In a new military escalation, Sana'a International Airport, under Houthi control, was subjected to intense Israeli airstrikes, leading to the suspension of all flights to and from the airport until further notice. The airport's director, Khalid Al-Shayef, reported "severe" damages estimated at around $500 million, including the destruction of three Yemeni Airlines planes and significant infrastructure damage, making long-term resumption of operations unlikely. The Israeli attack, the second in two days, followed escalating tensions after a Houthi missile fell near Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. Israel retaliated by striking the port of Hodeidah and then Sana'a Airport, considering the airport a "key hub for transporting weapons and Houthi elements." This airstrike marks a new development in the ongoing conflict since the Gaza conflict erupted. Meanwhile, Washington announced that US strikes against the Houthis would cease after successful mediation led by Oman resulting in an agreement not to target vital navigation routes in the Red Sea. This development may pave the way for de-escalation, but it does not eliminate the high tension in the region, with the ongoing threats from the Houthis targeting Israeli and international interests.
