Israel to persist until job is done, says Netanyahu after strikes at Houthi targets in Yemen | N18G

On December 26, 2024, Israel launched airstrikes targeting multiple facilities linked to the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen, including Sanaa International Airport, Red Sea ports, and power stations in Hodeidah, Hezyaz, and Ras Kanatib. Houthi media reported at least six casualties, with two killed at the airport and one at the ports. Destruction at the Hodeidah power station and Sanaa Airport was shown in video footage, verified by Reuters using satellite imagery. The Houthis, who have previously launched missile and drone attacks on Israel in solidarity with Palestinians, did not comment.

The strikes follow over a year of Houthi attacks disrupting global shipping routes. The U.N. condemned the escalation, warning of potential regional conflict. WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who was at the airport during the attack, reported an injury to a crew member.
