Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s Sanaa airport and key military sites have resulted in at least six deaths and 40 injuries. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was at the airport during the attack. The Israeli military targeted Houthi-controlled infrastructure, and the situation has drawn international concern. Iran condemned the strikes, and the UN called for de-escalation. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have been involved in attacks against Israel since 2023.
