Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fighter jets struck the airport in Yemen's capital, Sana'a, and completely disabled it in response to a Houthi attack on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, according to an IDF press release.
"The strikes were carried out on runways, aircraft, and airport infrastructure," the statement said.
Sana'a International Airport serves the capital and northern provinces of Yemen. It shares a runway with the Al-Dailami Air Base.
