Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted Sana International Airport in the capital of Yemen, Sana, which is under the control of the Houthis. Minister Katz noted that the last plane in the hands of the Houthis was also destroyed as a result of the attack.
"WE WILL DESTROY THE AIRPORT TIME AND TIME AGAIN"
Katz said, "While we continue to heavily bombard the ports in Yemen, just as we bomb other strategic infrastructures in the region, we will destroy the airport in Sana time and time again. As we have said before, we will blockade the Houthis both from the sea and from the air."
"SANA AIRPORT WAS SERVING THE HOUTHIS' PURPOSES"
In a statement from the IDF, it was claimed that the Houthis used the airport to facilitate the transportation of their armed members. The statement said, "Just like the ports of Hudaydah and Salif that were hit last week, the airport in Sana was also serving the purposes of the Houthis, who carry out attacks on Israel's civilian infrastructure."
STATEMENT FROM NETANYAHU
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in his statement, said, "We operate on a fundamental principle: we will harm those who harm us with a stronger force."
HOUTHIS CONFIRMED THE ATTACK
The Houthi-affiliated Al-Masirah television reported that in the four airstrikes carried out by Israel, the runways at Sana Airport and a plane belonging to Yemenia Airlines were hit. It was noted that the struck plane was the last civilian aircraft of the airline, while the runway was frequently used by planes assigned by the United Nations.
Yemeni officials had announced that as a result of the attack by the Israeli army on Sana Airport on May 6, the terminal building and runways became unusable. The airport was reopened 11 days after the attack.
