Houthis report 6 dead, 40 injured in Israeli strike on Yemen
[Regnum] At least six people were killed and 40 were injured as a result of Israeli strikes on the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, which is under the control of the Houthi movement Ansar Allah. This was reported to the SABA agency by the Houthi government's Health Ministry on December 27.

It is specified that three people were killed and 30 were injured in the Israeli air strike on Sana'a International Airport. In Hodeidah province, three more people were killed and ten were injured.

Earlier, Regnum reported that Sana'a was attacked by the Israeli Air Force during a speech by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. In addition, according to Al Mayadeen TV channel, the head of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at the Sana'a airport at the time of the Israeli strike. According to the latest information, he survived.

In addition, Israeli aircraft carried out strikes on the seaports of Hodeida and Ras Isa. The IDF is acting in response to ballistic missile and drone attacks on Israel by the Houthis.

A source told the newspaper that "the possibility of carrying out a major attack on Yemeni territory is being raised in the talks with the Americans," noting "there is great coordination between the two parties, and in Washington they understand the need to intensify the attacks".

Thursday in response to repeated ballistic missile and drone attacks on Israel which have ramped up in recent weeks, the military said.

The strikes — a mission that some 25 jets took part in, including refueling, cargo and intelligence-gathering planes — followed days of increasingly bellicose threats from Israeli leaders vowing to decimate the Iran-backed terror group after near-daily attacks.

Following Thursday’s strikes, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz promised to keep pounding the group and "hunt down" its leaders.

"We are determined to cut off this terror arm of the Iranian axis of evil. We will persist in this until we complete the job," Netanyahu said in a pre-recorded statement.

The Israel Defense Forces said that during the sortie, fighter jets struck Houthi targets along Yemen’s western coast and deeper within the country.

The targets included "infrastructure used by the Houthi terror regime for its military activities" at Sanaa International Airport, and the Hezyaz power plant just outside the Houthi-controlled capital. Planes also hit infrastructure at the Hodeida, Salif and Ras Qantib ports
…alternated spelling Ras Kanatib …
on the coast, including another power plant.

"These infrastructures were used by the Houthi terror regime to transfer Iranian weapons to the region and for the entry of senior Iranian officials," the IDF said.

The Houthi-controlled Saba news agency said that six people were killed in the strikes — three at the airport and three in Hodeida — while 40 others were maimed in the attacks.

Video published by Houthi-run Al Masirah TV showed extensive damage to the airport, including windows blown out in terminals and blood on the floor. The control tower appeared to have been reduced to a concrete shell.

The strikes came as Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi gave a televised speech.

Later on Thursday, the Houthis said they were ready to respond quickly to the attack and meet "escalation with escalation," Houthi-run Al Masirah TV reported.

Houthi official Hezam al-Asad tweeted that Israel’s strikes "reflect the state of weakness and bankruptcy that afflicts this defeated entity."

The Houthi leadership has stepped up attacks in recent weeks following the exit of fellow Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah from the battlefield.

Following the strikes, several Israeli reports said air defenses were being put on high alert in anticipation of a potential Houthi retaliation within hours.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the World Health Organization’s director-general, said the bombardment occurred as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa, injuring a crew member.

"The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged," he said on X, adding that he and WHO colleagues were safe. "We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave."
"Oh, Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi Sanaa again"
Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release.

According to Channel 12 news, Jerusalem updated the United States ahead of time on the targets it was about to hit.

"We saw precise action by the Israeli Air Force, hitting strategic Houthi targets in Yemen, at the airport and at the port," Katz said in a pre-recorded message from the IAF’s underground command center at the military headquarters in Tel Aviv.

"As we said, whoever strikes Israel, we will strike them. We will also hunt down all the Houthi leaders, hit them as we have done elsewhere," he added.
