Sana'a International Airport Director Khaled Al-Shaif said in a statement carried by the group's "26 September" website that "the airport was subjected to a brutal and direct aggression by the Zionist enemy, during which the airport's infrastructure was targeted with more than 15 missiles."
Al-Shaif added that the missiles targeted the arrivals, departures, and transactions halls, as well as the waiting and first-class lounges, completely destroying them, including their equipment, including baggage conveyor belts, inspection devices, computer and ticketing systems, and communications and surveillance equipment.
He continued: "There are more than 3,000 Yemeni citizens currently stranded in Jordan, including patients, students, and expatriates. They were supposed to return in the past few days, at a rate of 300 travelers per day, but the aggression prevented that."
He noted that "technical teams have begun work on airport maintenance, anticipating that flights will resume within a week, with alternative arrangements being made for receiving passengers if the airport terminals require more time to refurbish."
On Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army announced the launch of extensive attacks on the Yemeni capital, including Sanaa International Airport, central power stations, and a cement factory, a day after announcing the destruction of the port of Hodeidah in a series of airstrikes.
The raids resulted in 7 deaths and 94 injuries, according to the Houthi group.
On the same day, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire agreement with the Houthis, following mediation led by the Sultanate of Oman. This announcement was described in Israel as "surprising." However, the Houthis emphasized that the agreement with Washington does not include Israel.
The airstrikes on Sanaa came after the Houthis targeted Ben Gurion Airport in central Israel on Sunday with a hypersonic ballistic missile, injuring eight people and forcing millions to flee to shelters.
The Houthis say they are launching missiles at Israel in support of the Palestinians in Gaza, and that they will continue to do so as long as Tel Aviv continues its war of extermination in the Strip.
With full American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since October 7, 2023, leaving more than 172,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
