Israel has carried out a series of airstrikes in Yemen, hitting targets, including the international airport in the capital Sanhá, where people ran for cover. Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the raids were part of a campaign of retaliation, which was only just starting for recent strikes on Israel by Yemen's Houthi fighters who were backed by Iran. It's reported that at least two people were killed at the international airport. The Port of Houda was also hit, along with other sites was ride by Israel as military targets. Shaima Khalil reports now from Jerusalem.

Panic and fear in Sanaa Airport. People rushing to leave the building after an Israeli airstrike. The IDF said many hit Houthi military targets there. The port city of Hadaida was also hit. Houthi officials said the strikes were barbaric, a crime against the Yemen people. The Israeli military said it struck targets used by the Houthis to to smuggle Iranian weapons into the region. This is the second Israeli air strike on the Houdis in Yemen in less than a week. The Houthis, an Iran-backed armed group which controls Northwestern Yemen, began their attacks shortly after the start of the Gaza war in October last year, initially targeting international shipping, acting, they say, in solidarity with the Palestinians. On Saturday, a missile launched from Yemen injured more than a dozen people in Tel Aviv when it landed in a public park. Israel warned it respond with force.

We will continue to cut off the terror arm of the Iranian Axis of Evil until we complete the job.

The Houdis have vowed to keep up their attacks until the end of the war in Gaza.

But the war in Gaza continues, as does the wider regional conflict that it sparked.

Well, the war in Gaza continues as the Israel and Hamas ceasefire talks have stalled yet again with any hopes of respite crushed at least for now. This, as the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu said, this is only the beginning of Israel's campaign on the Houdis. Israel says that the Houdi Group will meet a similar fate to that of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Both also, Iran-backed, both suffered devastating losses to their infrastructure, but also by the killing of their leaders. The Houdis in Yemen have vowed to retaliate. They have vowed to meet escalation with escalation, they say. But the significance of this, of course, is that the stick for tat between the Houdis and Israel at the moment adds to a very complicated and grim regional picture here in the Middle East.
