Israeli air strikes pummelled Sanaa’s international airport and other targets in Yemen on Thursday, with Huthi rebel media reporting six deaths.The rebel-held capital’s airport was struck by “more than six” attacks, with raids also targeting the adjacent Al-Dailami air base, a witness told AFP.
Yemen’s civil aviation authority said the strikes occurred as the UN aircraft “was getting ready for its scheduled flight”, adding that the airport planned to reopen on Friday.
