Haaretz reported that on Thursday in a military operation Israel launched an airstrike on the International Airport of Sana in Yemen. The Israeli military has not yet commented on this strike. This leaves the incident in question, what’s the intention behind it?
The airstrike comes at a time of rising tensions in the Middle East. This highlights the role of Yemen in regional dynamics, particularly its connections to Iran-backed groups. Analysts are saying that this can be done by Israel to counter Iranian influence in the region.
The international airport of Sana where the strike happened is controlled by Houthi forces, which are aligned with Iran. So this airstrike on Sana’a airport can be a stance against the uncovered threats present there.
This development in the region has drawn attention to shifting alliances and power plays in the Middle East. Middle east has been facing war and crisis for a longer time, there are few arising hopes of ceasefire but these kinds of new airstrikes can make the region more unstable.
World is closely watching for any official statements from Israel and the potential responses from regional actors.
