Israeli jets struck the airport in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, on Tuesday in retaliation for a Houthi missile strike last weekend, according to Yemeni media.

Israel struck targets in Yemen on Monday night, the Israeli military said, one day after the Iranian backed Houthis fired a ballistic missile that hit Israel’s main airport.

Israel's military says it has hit Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the group's missile launch at Israel's Ben Gurion airport the previous day. The IDF said it attacked sites that it claimed served as a "central supply source for the Houthis" in the Hudaydah Port, as well as the Bajil cement factory east of the city of Hudaydah.
