Israeli air strikes on Yemen鈥檚 capital, Sanaa, on Thursday targeted the city鈥檚 airport and other key infrastructure. The attack killed at least six people and left dozens injured. The head of the World Health Organization, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, was at the airport during the strikes and said the damage had disrupted operations, delaying his departure. It remains unclear whether the fatalities were civilians or Houthi fighters, but the disruption to the airport threatens Yemen鈥檚 already fragile humanitarian operations.
