Israel struck multiple sites in Yemen’s capital Sanaa Tuesday, including the main airport, which the Israeli military said has now been “fully” disabled.

The Israeli military carried out an airstrike on Yemen's main airport in Sanaa on Tuesday, its second attack in two days on Iran-aligned Houthi rebels after a surge in tensions between the group and Israel.

The Israeli military has said it "fully disabled" Yemen's main airport in the capital Sanaa, which is controlled by the Houthis. Tuesday's strikes targeted three civilian planes, the departures hall, the runway and a military air base, multiple airport sources told the Reuters news agency. The Houthis have vowed to respond.
