Brilliant. Sanaa airport terminal obliterated, and all civilian planes destroyed. Two power plants and a cement factory were also destroyed in the IDF airstrikes retaliating against the Houthis.
Yemen’s Bajil Cement Factory is used to build underground tunnels for the Houthis and serves as a significant economic resource for the group, fueling its terrorist activities.
What did they think would happen when they fired a missile at Tel Aviv airport?

The warning is the first time that Israel has given a prior warning before attacking the Houthis, after six prior attacks in which no warnings was given.

The IDF confirmed that one of the other locations struck was al-Imran cement factory, located to the north of Sanaa.
The IDF also struck Attan in south-west Sanaa and Haiz Central Power Station in Sanhan district, south-east of the capital, and Asr Electricity Station in Sanaa’s Ma’een district, to the west of the city, according to Al Masirah.
The Houthis’ official news agency, Saba TV, also claimed that the IDF struck at least two electricity transformers.

This follows the military’s statement at 2:36 p.m. which warned all Yemeni citizens at the airport to evacuate prior to an upcoming Israeli airstrike there.

The warning is the first time that Israel has given a prior warning before attacking the Houthis, after six prior attacks when no warnings were given, including on Monday.
Defense sources explained that, in this instance, the nature of an international airport, as opposed to Yemen’s Port of Hodeidah and other areas which Israel has attacked, demanded a different level of prior warning.
On Monday, the air force undertook a joint counter-strike of the Houthis in Yemen along with the US following the ballistic missile strike near Ben-Gurion Airport on Sunday.
Tuesday’s strikes will be a second round of Israel’s response to the hit on Ben-Gurion Airport.
During Monday’s strike, about 20 fighter jets were part of the attack, during which 50 munitions were dropped on Houthi targets in total.
Tuesday’s strike will be the seventh Israeli air strike on the Houthis since July 2024, following over 400 attacks by the Iranian proxy on Israel over the course of the war.
