Israeli Airstrikes Hit Yemen Airport During WHO Chief's Visit

Israeli strikes on Houthi-controlled targets in Yemen disrupted a UN humanitarian mission, killing six people and injuring a UN air crew member.

• Israeli airstrikes targeted Sana'a airport and multiple Houthi-controlled sites in Yemen, including ports and power stations, following Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel.
• WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and UN staff were at Sana'a airport during the strikes, which damaged the air traffic control tower and runway; all UN personnel are safe, though one crew member was seriously injured.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the strikes would continue to counter Houthi attacks and disrupt what Israel claims are Iranian weapon smuggling operations through Yemen.
• The UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the escalation, highlighting the risks to Yemen's critical humanitarian infrastructure, as 80% of the population depends on aid.
• Houthi forces, aligned with Iran, have intensified missile and drone attacks on Israel and commercial shipping in the Red Sea, prompting retaliation from Israel, the U.S., and U.K.
