WATCH: This is what $500 million in damage looks like | Footage from the terminal in Sanaa 

Heavy damage was caused at the international airport in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, which is controlled by the Houthis, following an Israeli attack last night (Tuesday). According to the airport manager's announcement, the cost of repairing the damage is estimated at about half a billion dollars, and the airport suspended all flights following the incident.

The director of the airport in Sana'a stated that the Israeli attack destroyed the terminal buildings, including all the equipment. According to him, "About $500 million of damage was caused as a result of the Israeli aggression on the airport in Sanaa." He added that Yemenia Airlines lost three planes, and a total of six planes were destroyed in the attack.

The attack at the airport comes after previous incidents, in which a missile launched by the Houthis created a crater near Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday. The airport manager announced that the airport had suffered "heavy damage" and was therefore suspending all flights until further notice.

Although there are "alternatives to temporarily opening the airport," the airport manager noted that "we will need a lot of time to rehabilitate it and return it to activity."

The Houthis issued fierce threats of retaliation. A flyer circulated by the group warned, “Expect a surprise at the Port of Haifa" and “ammonia tanks have a date with Yemen,” signaling potential attacks on Israeli infrastructure. Senior Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, in an Al-Arabi interview, declared, “Escalation will be met with escalation. Our campaign with the US, UK, and Israel will continue until the aggression in Gaza stops. We have many Israeli sites we haven’t yet attacked.” Houthi official Hezam al-Assad called the strikes a “despicable crime,” vowing, “The blood of civilians and workers will fuel a severe and shocking Yemeni response.”

Ali Al-Qhoom, a Houthi political bureau member, warned on X, “The Israeli aggression against greater Yemen will have dire consequences for the Zionists,” promising a strong response. A Houthi cartoon depicted a Yemeni dagger striking an Israeli airport, captioned, “Even your escape route won’t be safe,” mocked by some as reckless.
