Israeli forces destroy Yemen airport tower in response to Houthi drone attacks.

On Friday, Israeli forces launched a targeted attack on an airport tower in Yemen in response to ongoing Houthi drone attacks. The dramatic footage captured the moment of the explosion as planes sat on the tarmac nearby.

The strikes came after repeated drone and missile attacks by the Houthi rebels towards Israel. The situation escalated when the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, narrowly avoided being killed in the airport attack. He had been in Sanaa, Yemen, negotiating the release of UN detainees.

Tragically, at least six individuals lost their lives in the Israeli strikes, with another 40 suffering injuries. In a statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear that their military operation was just beginning in response to the provocations by the Houthis.

The escalation of violence in the region further heightens tensions and raises concerns about the potential for further conflict. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely as the situation in Yemen remains volatile.
