Israel struck Yemen’s airport and power plant

An international airport and a power plant in Yemen were among the targets of a series of airstrikes carried out by Israel on Thursday.

Three people were killed and more than a dozen were injured as a result of the strike, according to Houthi media.

Footage from the airport in the capital Sanna showed chaos in the terminal as passengers fled, while the control tower was damaged.

While in the port city of Hodeidah, a power station was damaged, causing a large fire.

The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group called the attacks “barbaric”.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement that its “fighters struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime on the west coast and in the interior of Yemen.”
