On 26 December 2024, an Israeli Air Force aircraft struck multiple targets in the areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthi Movement, most notably on the capital's Sanaa International Airport.[3] According to Israel, the attacks, which were part of their operation code-named Operation Tzelilei HaKerem (English: Operation Sounds of the Vineyard), were carried out in response to the firing of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward Israel by the Houthi Movement.[4] It took place as part of multiple Israeli airstrikes in Yemen in December amidst the Houthi involvement in the Israel–Hamas war.[5]
