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 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.

While the hub quickly resumed services, several airlines have suspended flights to Israel as the Houthi rebels boasted about piercing Israel’s multi-layered air defences, including the Iron Dome and US-provided THAAD missile defence system.
