Israel said the bombing of the airport, which was targeted for the second time this month, had destroyed the last plane used by the Iran-backed Houthi militia.

The Israeli Air Force launched an attack on the Houthi-controlled Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Wednesday morning. The military operation reportedly was a retaliatory strike for two hypersonic ballistic missiles fired by the Houthis at Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport over the weekend.

Israel says it has launched air strikes on Yemen’s main airport in the capital, Sanaa, a day after Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired two projectiles towards Israel. The Houthi-affiliated news outlet Al Masirah TV reported on Wednesday that four strikes hit the runway.
