[Regnum] The capital of Yemen, Sana'a, was hit by an airstrike on December 27. Powerful explosions thundered in the city, Al Arabiya reported.

The strike targeted Sanaa airport and other vital facilities in the city itself and in the coastal province of Hodeidah, including two power plants and an oil port.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, Yemeni Houthis launched a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile attack on an Israeli military facility in the Tel Aviv area on December 16. According to Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria, this was a response to Israel's ongoing attacks on Palestine.

Since then, Sana'a has been repeatedly hit. The Yemeni capital was subjected to a massive airstrike on December 22. In addition, on December 26, the Israel Defense Forces carried out a series of airstrikes on Sana'a.

At the time, the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was at the airport in the capital of Yemen. He was not injured. According to the Houthis, six people were killed and 40 more were injured.

Saria reported on December 27 that the Houthis had launched a hypersonic ballistic missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. The airport's operations were suspended.

#1 Israeli airstrikes hit a Yemen airport as a jet with hundreds onboard was landing, UN official says
Of course, left unstated is why that particular Yemen airport is still open for business & was not (some months ago) put out of commission permanently and completely. Does Houthi held territory still have an operating electric grid? Etc.
