Israeli airstrikes destroyed Sana'a International Airport and knocked it out of service on Tuesday.

The strikes also targeted the electricity stations in Dhabhan and Hazziz, north and south of the capital Sanaa, which is controlled by the Houthi militias

. Activists condemned the U.S.-Israeli attacks on critical infrastructure, including the airport's runway and terminals, as well as the main power stations in Dhabhan and Hazziz.

The raids also struck the Attan area southwest of Sanaa and destroyed the Amran cement factory.

Through social media, activists expressed outrage at these strikes, which devastated Yemen's infrastructure and resources. They held the Houthi militias entirely responsible for the destruction of the airport, power stations, and cement factories in Amran and Bajil (Hodeidah), blaming them for the systematic targeting of civilian infrastructure essential to Yemenis.
