Zionist warplanes also bombed power stations in the capital, Sanaa, in retaliation for an air and sea blockade imposed by the YAF.

Heavy Zionist airstrikes struck Sanaa International Airport and other critical infrastructure in the Yemeni capital on 6 May, as Tel Aviv declared its forces had “completely disabled” the country’s main civilian airfield.

According to local reports, the Zionist aggression also targeted two power stations located north of Sanaa and another one south of the capital.

Large fires broke out in the Yemeni capital following Tuesday’s airstrikes.

Officials in Tel Aviv claim the attack on Sanaa International Airport was used by the Ansarallah-led Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) “for transferring weapons and operatives.”

However, only Yemenia Airlines, the country’s national airline, is allowed to operate in the airport, and the UN and the Saudi-led coalition have placed heavy restrictions on it.

“We tell the US, the British, and the Zionists that our military operations in support of Gaza will continue, no matter the sacrifices. The Zionists have crossed red lines and must await Yemen’s response,” Yemen’s Supreme Political Council member Muhammad al-Bukhaiti told Al Mayadeen.

Tuesday’s attacks were the second time in less than 24 hours that Israel bombed key civilian infrastructure in Yemen. On Monday night, Tel Aviv damaged about 70 percent of Hodeidah Port, injuring 56 people and killing at least one.

Nasruddin Amer, head of Ansarallah’s media office, vowed that the YAF would respond to the Israeli attack and that the strikes would not deter further operations.

Ansarallah official Abdul Qader al-Mortada commented on the attack, saying that Israel should wait for the “unimaginable.”

The Israeli aggression was launched in response to a hypersonic ballistic missile strike that hit the Colony’s Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday. Following this operation, Sanaa announced the implementation of an aerial blockade on the Zionist enemy until the country lifts its bloody siege of Gaza.

About a dozen international airlines suspended flights to Israel.

Ben Gurion Airport has regularly been used to receive weapons shipments from the US to fuel the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
