Israeli Airstrike Destroys Yemen's Last Civilian Plane
Israeli airstrike destroys Yemen's last civilian aircraft at Sanaa airport. An Israeli airstrike on May 28, 2025, completely destroyed the only remaining civilian plane at Sanaa International Airport in Yemen. The attack targeted a Yemenia Airways Airbus A320, which had just landed. "This is the only remaining plane targeted by the Zionist (Israeli) enemy," said Khaled al Shaief, general director of Sanaa International Airport. The aircraft was crucial for transporting Yemenis to Jordan and pilgrims to Saudi Arabia. The incident raises serious concerns about the ongoing conflict and the impact on civilian infrastructure. The destruction of the plane further limits Yemen's already strained transportation capabilities. The incident highlights the devastating consequences of the conflict on the civilian population and the urgent need for a peaceful resolution.
