Israel hits Houthi targets including last plane at Yemen's Sanaa airport
Israel said it had struck Houthi targets including the last remaining plane used by the group at Sanaa international airport, after the Yemeni militants launched missiles towards Israel a day earlier. The general director of Sanaa International Airport, Khaled al-Shaief, said in a post on his X account that the strike had completely destroyed the last of the civilian planes that Yemenia Airways was operating from the airport. The airport is the largest in Yemen and came back into service last week after temporary repairs and runway restoration following previous Israeli strikes. It was mainly being used by UN aircraft and the plane destroyed in the latest Israeli strikes. Three other Yemenia Airways planes were destroyed in an attack earlier this month. 'This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we have established: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price,' Israel's defence ministry said in a statement. 02:46 US launches air strikes in Yemen amid escalating tensions with Houthi rebels US launches air strikes in Yemen amid escalating tensions with Houthi rebels The Houthis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Israel says it has hit Houthi targets including last plane at Sanaa airport
JERUSALEM, May 28 (Reuters) - Israel said on Wednesday it had hit Houthi targets including the last remaining plane used by the group at Sanaa international airport, after the Yemeni militants launched missiles towards Israel a day earlier. Israel's defence ministry said the strike had destroyed the plane used by the Iranian-backed Houthis, who have fired a series of missiles at Israel in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. "This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we have established: whoever fires at the State of Israel will pay a heavy price," the defence ministry said in a statement. The Houthis did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sanaa airport, the largest in Yemen, came back into service last week after temporary repairs and runway restoration following previous Israeli strikes. It was mainly used by U.N. aircraft and the only remaining civilian aircraft of Yemenia Airways, after three others were destroyed in the last attack.

Israel says 93 UN aid trucks entered Gaza on Tuesday
Israel said 93 U.N. aid trucks entered war-ravaged Gaza on Tuesday, a day after the U.N. announced it had been cleared to send supplies for the first time since Israel imposed a total blockade on March 2. COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body that oversees civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, said "93 U.N. trucks carrying humanitarian aid, including flour for bakeries, food for babies, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical drugs were transferred today (Tuesday) via the Kerem Shalom Crossing into the Gaza Strip".
