ALWAGHT- Israeli warplanes launched renewed strikes on Sana'a Airport, damaging a Yemenia Airlines jet days after the airport resumed activity.
Israeli warplanes launched fresh airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Tuesday, just ten days after the airport resumed operations following a prior Israeli attack. Reports from both Israeli and local media confirm that a Yemenia Airways passenger plane was among the targets, with Yemeni sources also stating that the airport's Customs department was hit.
This renewed assault on civilian infrastructure has raised further alarm, especially as Sanaa Airport had only recently reopened for limited civilian flights to Amman. The extent of the damage remains unclear, but the strike reflects a pattern of targeting aviation facilities under claims of military justification, disrupting essential transport and humanitarian routes.
The latest attack follows the May 6 airstrikes that severely damaged the airport, including its runways and terminals. As Israel expands its military operations into Yemen, the repeated targeting of key civilian infrastructure highlights the fragility of recovery efforts and the growing threat to civilian safety in the region.
