Israel again hits Sanaa airport
The Israeli Air Force has hit Houthi targets at Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, the army has said in a post on X. Houthi affiliate media is also reporting strikes on the capital’s airport.

‘Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold’: Israeli defence minister
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has confirmed that the air force hit the Yemeni airport in the capital, Sanaa, to strike Houthi positions.
“This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we have established: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay heavy prices,” Katz said, adding that the retaliation was part of a military operation dubbed “Golden Jewel”.
“The ports in Yemen will continue to be severely damaged, and the airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again, as will other strategic infrastructure in the region used by the Houthi terrorist organisation and its supporters.”
Katz said the Houthis would also face a naval and air blockade. “Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold,” he added.
Plane targeted at Sanaa airport scheduled for Hajj pilgrimage
Israeli aircraft have carried out four air strikes on Sanaa International Airport this morning, targeting the runway and a Yemeni Airlines plane, the head of the airport says.
Khaled al-Shaif, the airport’s director, said on X that Israel targeted “the last functional aircraft belonging to Yemeni Airlines at Sana’a International Airport, completely destroying it”.
Flight data indicated that the targeted aircraft was an Airbus A320-233 that had arrived from the Jordanian capital, Amman. It landed in Sanaa at about 9:10am (6:10 GMT).
According to information from Flightradar24 obtained by Al Jazeera, the plane was scheduled to fly to the Saudi city of Jeddah for the Hajj pilgrimage. On Friday, the airport had announced it would operate two flights a day to Jeddah for nine days to transport pilgrims.

Hezbollah condemns Israeli strike on Yemen, urges global action
The Lebanese armed group has issued a statement condemning what it called Israel’s “barbaric aggression”, following an air strike on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, which targeted the last remaining civilian aircraft.
The group accused Israel of expanding its attacks across the region – from Gaza and Lebanon and now, to Yemen – and described the strike as a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian law.
Hezbollah blamed the US for enabling Israel’s actions and criticised the international community’s “shameful silence”. It voiced strong solidarity with the Yemeni people and praised their leadership for standing firmly with the Palestinians in Gaza.
The group called on Arab, Islamic, and free nations to take urgent action to lift the siege on Gaza and back Yemen’s stance in standing up for Palestine.
