Israel launched airstrikes against Houthi-linked sites in Yemen on Thursday, targeting Sanaa International Airport and key military infrastructure. At least six people were killed, and over 40 wounded, according to Houthi media. 🌍💥
Dramatic Moment: WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus revealed he was minutes away from boarding a plane at the airport when the attack occurred. A crew member on his flight was injured, he said. 🚨 \"This escalation endangers lives and humanitarian efforts,\" Tedros later tweeted.
The strikes also hit ports and power stations along Yemen’s west coast, with Israeli officials vowing to \"dismantle\" Houthi military capabilities. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz pledged to \"hunt down\" Houthi leaders, echoing their strategy in other conflict zones. 🎯
Houthi-run Al Masirah TV warned of swift retaliation, declaring they’d meet \"escalation with escalation.\" The group has frequently targeted Israel with drones and missiles in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. 🔄⚔️
Analysts say the conflict risks further destabilizing the region, with global leaders urging restraint. For now, the cycle of strikes and threats shows no sign of slowing. ⏳
