The spokesman for the Yemeni Ministry of Health, Anis Al-Asbahi, confirmed to Al Mayadeen that two Sanaa airport employees were killed and a number of others were wounded, including the assistant pilot of a UN plane, as a result of the Israeli aggression on Sanaa airport.

In a statement to Al Mayadeen, al-Asbahi pointed out on Thursday, that the assistant pilot of a UN plane and 13 other Yemeni passengers were injured due to the Israeli aggression.

He also detailed how one person was killed and three others were injured after strikes on Ras Issa Port, in As-Salif District, northwest of the coastal province of al-Hodeidah, west of Yemen.

In a revised toll, the spokesperson later said that the casualties had increased to four martyrs and 42 injured in total.

Earlier Today, the Israeli occupation launched a large-scale attack on Yemen while the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, was delivering his speech.

A source told Al Mayadeen on Thursday that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa and al-Hodeidah targeted civilian facilities and was carried out with the US and UK's coordination and support. 

The source also said that targeting civilian facilities is evidence of the occupation's failure to have a clear target list within the country, stressing that this "will not change the course of the war and will be met with a similar response."

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, in turn, also confirmed that the Israeli occupation's aggression targeted a gathering of travelers, including patients, at the Sanaa International Airport terminal, and also targeted airport control towers.

Significantly, sources told Al Mayadeen, that the Israeli aggression on Sanaa International Airport took place during the presence of two UN personnel in the airport: the WHO's Director and the UN's resident coordinator.

Moreover, the sources reported that the UN airplane's co-captain had been injured and was transported to a hospital after the Israeli aggression on the airport, adding that two other airport employees were also killed as a result of the attack.

The source emphasized that the Israeli entity should "not lie in wait for a response from Sanaa because its military operations will continue."
