Israeli air attack on Yemen’s capital Sanaa under way
Al Masira TV, a network affiliated with Yemen’s Houthi rebels, reports that Israel has begun bombing the capital, Sanaa. It comes shortly after Israel issued a warning saying it would soon bomb Sanaa International Airport.
Israeli attack on Sanaa could represent new ‘pattern'
Israelis gave a rare warning – this is the first time they’ve issued a warning for Yemen, similar to ones they’ve issued for Lebanon and Gaza. The big question is whether this attack is going to become a pattern and whether a new front has completely opened for Israel.
Yesterday’s Israeli attack on Hodeidah targeted the main port where much of the humanitarian aid gets into Yemen. Today it’s Sanaa airport, which is the main gateway to the country. Hitting this airport would mean Yemen is cut off from the world. By cutting off the port and the airport, it’s as if Israel is trying to besiege the country without besieging it directly.

Israeli army confirms attacks on Yemen
The military says it has attacked Houthi targets in Yemen, including the airport in Sanaa and several major power stations in the capital area. In a statement, the Israeli army said the al-Imran concrete factory north of Sanaa was also attacked.
“The operation was approved by the Commander of the Air Force and the Chief of Staff,” it said. The military added that it would “continue to act and strike with force” any group that poses a threat to Israel.
