Boss of World Health Organisation among those present during Israel’s strike on Sana’a airport
Israeli warplanes hit targets across Yemen on Thursday, including the international airport, energy facilities and ports, in retaliation for missile strikes by Iran-backed Houthi militants on the Jewish state. Israel’s military said on Thursday it had conducted “intelligence-based strikes” on targets used by the Yemen-based Houthi rebels for “military activities”, as well as entry points into the country used by Iranian officials and weapons smugglers.
At least five ballistic missiles have been fired at central Israel over the past 10 days, including early on Christmas morning, sending millions of residents rushing to bomb shelters. On two occasions Israeli air defences failed to fully intercept the incoming projectiles, with one landing on a school and another in a playground in the Tel Aviv area, injuring 16 people.
