Hi there,

We need independent media more than ever. When we cover war and peace, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers. When we cover the climate catastrophe, we’re not brought to you by the oil, gas and coal companies. When we cover inequality, we’re not brought to you by the banks and other financial institutions. We’re brought to you by you, the listener, the reader and the viewer. If you want Democracy Now! to keep bringing you the stories that matter most, please donate today. 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.
