Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Israel Bombs Yemeni Capital and Port City of Hodeidah, Killing 6 and Wounding Dozens

HeadlineDec 27, 2024

In Yemen, at least six people were killed and dozens more wounded Thursday when Israel bombed the capital Sana’a and the western city of Hodeidah. One of the strikes triggered panic at Sana’a International Airport, where at least three people were killed and 30 others injured. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was just meters away from the blast, preparing to board a flight out of Sana’a as part of a high-level U.N. delegation. Dr. Tedros was not wounded, but the bombing did injure one of the U.N. plane’s crew members. Yemen’s Houthis said they would respond to the attack by meeting “escalation with escalation.” Overnight, the Houthis claimed attacks on Tel Aviv, including Ben Gurion Airport as well as a ship in the Arabian Sea.
