Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) and Ansarallah resistance movement are
planning to begin operations targeting Israel\u2019s national airline,
sources in Sanaa told Lebanese newspaper <a href="https://www.al-akhbar.com/arab/837414/%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%87-%D9%8A%D9%85%D9%86%D9%8A-%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%87%D8%AF%D8%A7%D9%81--%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A7%D9%84---%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%B9%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%AF%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%86-%D9%84%D8%A7-%D9%8A%D9%83%D8%A8%D8%AD-%D8%B5%D9%86%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%A1"><i>Al-Akhbar </i></a>on 30 May. </p><p>This comes after the destruction of Yemenia Airways planes in Israeli airstrikes targeting <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/israeli-warplanes-launch-new-strikes-on-yemens-main-airport">Sanaa International Airport</a>, the last of which took place on Wednesday. </p><p>\u201cThe
upcoming operations will differ in quantity and quality from previous
operations carried out deep inside the Israeli entity,\u201d the sources
said, adding that the operations \u201cwill include Israeli civilian aircraft
on the target list.\u201d</p><p>The last Yemenia Airways plane was destroyed
by an Israeli attack on Sanaa airport on 28 May. Israel said the plane
was being used by Ansarallah and the YAF to \u201ctransport terrorists.\u201d
However, Yemeni authorities said their civilian aircraft are used for
medical evacuations and pilgrimages</p><p>The last Israeli strikes on
Yemen came as a response to continued Yemeni missile strikes targeting
Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv \u2013 on which Sanaa has imposed a blockade,
causing several major international airlines to <a href="https://thecradle.co/articles/multiple-yemeni-attacks-cause-chaos-at-ben-gurion-airport">suspend flights </a>to Israel. </p><p>The
YAF said on Thursday night that it targeted Ben Gurion airport with a
hypersonic ballistic missile, causing millions of usurping Zionists to
rush to shelters and bringing the airport to a standstill.\u201d The Israeli
army said it intercepted a missile launched from Yemen. </p><p>In early
May, a Yemeni ballistic missile made direct impact inside the airport,
creating a large crater and injuring several people. </p><p>Following the new Israeli strikes on Sanaa Airport, Yemeni President Mahdi al-Mashat <a href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250529-yemen-houthis-threaten-israel-with-hot-summer-after-strikes-on-sanaa-airport/">warned</a> Israel of a \u201chot summer.\u201d</p><p>\u201cThe
government of the filthy Netanyahu is unable to protect you, and the
coming surprises are painful. To the Zionist herds: You should wait for a
hot summer. I say to all companies that continue to arrive at the Ben
Gurion Airport \u2026 that they are at risk at any moment. I call on all
travelers around the world to avoid traveling with companies that
continue to fly [there], as they are subject to our sanctions and are
not safe,\u201d he said. </p></span></div></div></div></div>
