IDF STRIKES TERROR INFRASTRUCTURE IN YEMEN IN RESPONSE TO HOUTHI MISSILE ATTACK ON BEN GURION AIRPORT

STOP IRAN NOW

MAY 5, 2025

Sana'a Yemen is covered with smoke as the Israeli Airfare conducted successful strikes on the International Airport as well as other infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in response to a ballistic missile strike on Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday. The Houthis whose slogan is "God is Great, Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse the Jews, Victory to Islam" have fired dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel - and have attacked hundreds of ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden impeding international shipping.

A short while ago, IDF fighter jets struck and dismantled Houthi terrorist infrastructure at the main airport in Sana’a, fully disabling the airport. The strike was carried out in response to the attack launched by the Houthi terrorist regime against Ben Gurion Airport. Flight runways, aircraft, and infrastructure at the airport were struck.

Similar to the Hudaydah Port that was struck yesterday, the airport served as a central hub for the Houthi terrorist regime to transfer weapons and operatives. It has been routinely used by the Houthi regime for terrorist purposes. This underscores the Houthi terrorist regime’s brutal exploitation of civilian infrastructure for terrorist activity.

Furthermore, several central power plants were struck in the Sana’a area. The terrorist regime exploits energy infrastructure—an additional example of the Houthi regime’s use of Yemeni civilian infrastructure for terrorist purposes.

In addition, the IDF struck the “Al Imran” Concrete Plant, located north of Sana’a, which serves as a significant resource for the Houthi terrorist regime and is used for the construction of underground tunnels and other terrorist infrastructure. This strike further degrades the Houthi regime’s economic and military buildup capabilities.

The strikes were carried out with prevision, and steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.

This operation was approved by the Commanding Officer of the IAF and the Chief of the General Staff.

Over the past year and a half, the Houthi terrorist regime has been operating under Iranian direction and funding, with the goal of targeting the State of Israel and its allies, undermining regional stability, and disrupting global freedom of navigation.

The IDF is determined to continue operating—at any distance—against all threats posed to the citizens of the State of Israel.
