Israel Bombs Airport in Yemen’s Capital as Trump Announces Deal to Stop U.S. Attacks on Houthis

HeadlineMay 07, 2025

Israel’s military bombed the main airport in Yemen’s capital Sana’a on Tuesday, an attack that set passenger jets on fire and disabled the airfield. Yemen’s Houthi movement says the bombing left three people dead. Elsewhere, witnesses reported at least four other Israeli strikes across the capital region. The Israeli attacks came as President Trump said the U.S. would no longer launch attacks on Yemen, after the Houthis reportedly reached out and expressed that they “don’t want to fight anymore.” A top Houthi negotiator later said the U.S. ceasefire did not apply to Houthi operations against Israel.
