Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom.

Houthis Vow More Attacks on Israel to Protest “Crime of Genocide” in Gaza

HeadlineMay 05, 2025

Tension is escalating between Israel and Yemen after a Houthi missile hit near Ben Gurion Airport outside of Tel Aviv. The Houthis said it carried out the strike “in rejection of [Israel’s] crime of genocide.” A Houthi military spokesperson vowed more attacks on Israel.

Yahya Sarea: “The Yemeni Armed Forces announced that they will work to impose a comprehensive air blockade on the Israeli enemy by repeatedly targeting airports, most notably Lod Airport, known in Israel as Ben Gurion Airport.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to respond to the Houthi attack and threatened Iran, as well.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is continuing to bomb Yemen on an almost daily basis. At least 16 people were injured in U.S. airstrikes overnight on the capital Sana’a.
