Yemen's main airport in Sanaa disabled in airstrikes, Israel's military says

Israel's military said Tuesday it launched airstrikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, fully disabling the country's international airport in the capital, Sanaa, and striking several power plants.

The strikes, the second in two days, came after Israel launched airstrikes in retaliation for a Houthi missile strike the previous day on Israel's international airport.

The Houthis' satellite news channel al-Masirah reported the strikes, confirming the airport had been hit.
