Israeli military issues unprecedented evacuation warning for Yemen's international airport
Jerusalem
CNN —
Israel's military has issued an unprecedented evacuation warning for Yemen's international airport in Sana'a.
It marks the first time the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has put out an evacuation warning in Yemen, more than 1,000 miles from Israel.
'Failure to evacuate the area endangers your lives,' Avichay Adraee, the IDF spokesperson in Arabic, said on social media.
The warning comes a day after the Israeli military carried out a series of strikes against the port in Yemen's Hodeidah and a nearby cement factory. The Huthi-run Ministry of Health said at least one person had been killed and another 35 injured in an Israeli strike on the factory in Bajil, east of Hodeidah.
The IDF strikes came after a Huthi ballistic missile penetrated Israel's air defenses and hit near Tel Aviv's international airport on Sunday. Several attempts to intercept the missile failed, the IDF said.
Israel struck Sana'a international airport in December, killing at least three people and injuring 30 others, according to the Huthi-run al-Masirah satellite television network.
