Israel Strikes Yemen Airport Amid Rising Hostilities with Houthi Rebels
ai generated text
There were multiple reports of Israeli strikes on Yemeni targets, including Sanaa's international airport and other locations such as power stations in Hodeida and Hezyaz, and Ras Kanatib. The strikes resulted in at least three deaths and over a dozen injuries. The strikes occurred while the director-general of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was at the airport, where he reported that he and other UN staff were about to board a plane.
One of our plane's crew members was injured. At least two people were reported killed at the airport. The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge – just a few meters from where we were – and the runway were damaged.

My UN and WHO colleagues and I are safe.
As we were about to board our flight from Sanaa… the airport came under aerial bombardment. One of our plane's crew members was injured.
We saw precise action by the Israeli Air Force, hitting strategic Houthi targets in Yemen, at the airport and at the port.
After Hamas, Hezbollah and the [Bashar al-]Assad regime in Syria, theHouthiss are almost the last arm of Iran's axis of evil.
I have instructed our forces to destroy the infrastructure ofHouthiss because anyone who tries to harm us will be struck with full force.
We are determined to cut off this terror arm of the Iranian axis of evil. We will persist in this until we complete the job.
These aggressions are a clear violation of international peace and security and an undeniable crime against the heroic and noble people of Yemen.
