On 5 May 2025, Israel launched a series of airstrikes against the Houthi movement in Yemen, in response to a Houthi ballistic missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport the day before. Among the targets was Sanaa International Airport, which was bombed and destroyed along with several aircraft by the Israeli Air Force on 6 May. The Israeli Navy joined the campaign later in June. Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi was the most senior Houthi official to be killed in the strikes and the broader Red Sea crisis. The Houthis and Israel halted their attacks in early October 2025, in the wake of the ceasefire in Gaza brokered by US President Donald Trump.
