Jerusalem, May 28 || Israeli warplanes on Wednesday struck Sanaa's main airport in Yemen and several aircraft belonging to the Houthi forces, Israel's military said in a statement.
The attack destroyed the last aircraft used by the Houthi forces, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a separate statement.
The strike was part of what Israel called "Operation Golden Jewel," a campaign that aims to degrade the Houthis' ability to launch further attacks on Israel, said Katz.
"This is a clear message and a direct continuation of the policy we have set: whoever fires at Israel will pay a heavy price," Katz warned.
He said Israel would continue targeting Yemeni ports and strategic infrastructure used by the Houthis and their allies. "The airport in Sanaa will be destroyed again and again."
Katz also warned that the Houthis would be "under a naval and aerial blockade"/
