Israeli aircraft launched a new round of airstrikes on the Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Tuesday, just ten days after the airport resumed operations following a previous Israeli attack.

According to Israeli and local media, the latest strikes targeted a Yemenia Airways passenger plane.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent confirmed that several Israeli air raids struck the airport, renewing the assault on civilian infrastructure. Yemeni sources also informed our correspondent that the airport's Customs department was targeted in the strike.

"Israel’s" Channel 12 reported that one of the targets was a Yemenia Airlines aircraft. The extent of the damage has not yet been confirmed, but the report highlights the recurring pattern of targeting civilian aviation infrastructure under the pretext of military objectives.

The renewed Israeli aggression comes shortly after Sanaa Airport reopened for limited civilian travel, and the facility had resumed operations with four flights between Sanaa and the Jordanian capital, Amman, following extensive repairs.

On May 6, Israeli aircraft launched 30 direct airstrikes on the airport, causing massive destruction to civilian planes, terminals, and key infrastructure, including both the main and secondary runways. 

The latest airstrikes further illustrate the continued targeting of civilian airports and the broader impact of "Israel’s" aggression against Yemen’s population. The pattern of recurring assaults on critical transport hubs raises serious concerns about the safety of civilian air travel and the deliberate disruption of humanitarian and economic routes.

As "Israel" expands its aggression across multiple fronts, including Yemen, the re-escalation of attacks on Sanaa International Airport underscores the fragile nature of any attempts at restoring basic services in the country.
