Flights Resume at the Rebel-Held Airport in Yemen’s Capital, More than a Week After Israeli Strikes
- Flights resumed on May 10 at Sanaa International Airport in Yemen’s capital, held by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, after Israeli airstrikes on May 6 disabled the airport.
- The strikes came in retaliation for recent Houthi rocket and drone launches targeting Israel and maritime traffic, which intensified after a Houthi missile struck Ben Gurion Airport in early May, despite a prior ceasefire agreement concerning Red Sea shipping.
- On May 10, Israeli forces also launched airstrikes on Houthi-controlled ports of Al-Hudaydah and Salif, targeting alleged weapon transfer sites and causing at least one death and nine injuries.
- Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that Israel would not remain passive in the face of Houthi attacks and threatened intensified strikes targeting their leadership and critical infrastructure.
- The UN envoy Hans Grundberg described the situation as a dangerous escalation, highlighting Yemen’s entanglement in broader regional tensions amid continued conflict.
