Israeli air strikes target Yemen’s main international airport

Israeli air strikes have targeted key locations in Yemen, including the country’s main international airport and a military base in the capital city of Sanaa. Witnesses and the Houthi rebels who govern Yemen have reported the attacks, with Israel claiming responsibility.

The air force of Israel stated that it had specifically targeted Houthi “military infrastructure” in these strikes. The Houthi-run broadcaster Al Masirah reported that three individuals were killed in the attacks, while a further 11 suffered injuries. This escalation of violence in Yemen adds to the already dire situation in the conflict-ridden country.

In a separate incident, Palestinian TV has reported the death of five journalists in Gaza due to an Israeli airstrike. Israel has countered this claim by stating that the strike targeted “Islamic Jihad operatives posing as journalists.” The deaths of journalists in conflict zones only heighten concerns regarding press freedom and safety during times of crisis.

These recent developments highlight the ongoing tensions in the region, involving not only Yemen and Israel but also affecting innocent civilians and media personnel. The situation calls for international attention and efforts towards finding peaceful solutions to avoid further loss of life and escalation of conflict.
