Houthi Leader Condemns Israeli Airstrike on Sanaa Airport

Sanaa Airport Strike: Houthi Leader's Condemnation Amidst Escalating Tensions On May 28th, 2025, an Israeli airstrike targeted Sanaa International Airport in Yemen, destroying a Yemenia Airways plane and causing significant disruption. This action prompted a strong condemnation from Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, who, in a televised address, denounced the strike as an attempt to undermine Yemen's support for Palestinians. "This attack comes within the context of the ongoing Israeli aggression against our nation in Palestine," al-Houthi stated. Israeli authorities countered that the strike targeted Houthi infrastructure due to recent missile launches from Yemen towards Israel. The incident marks the fourth Yemenia Airways plane destroyed in Israeli strikes this month, highlighting the escalating tensions between the two countries. The airport, Yemen's largest, had only recently resumed limited operations after previous damage. The continued targeting of civilian infrastructure raises serious concerns about the humanitarian consequences of the conflict. The incident underscores the complex dynamics of the conflict and the need for a peaceful resolution.
