President of the Houthi's Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, stated on Tuesday evening that "our response will be devastating and painful, and will not be able to be borne by the Israeli enemy."

"To all Zionists, from now on, stay in your shelters, or leave your country immediately, because your failed government will no longer be able to protect you," al-Mashat added.

"The aggressor will realize that the price he will pay is high, and no aggression will deter us from our decision to support Gaza until the aggression stops and the siege is lifted," he concluded.

The Houthis also released a statement on Tuesday following the IDF's airstrikes across Sanaa, stating that "the Israeli and American aggression will not go unanswered and will not deter Yemen from continuing its support for Gaza."

"The Israeli enemy’s targeting of civilian infrastructure and facilities in Sanaa and other regions is additional evidence of the entity's impotence and bankruptcy," they stated.

"The Yemeni people will continue their efforts to pressure the entity until the aggression on Gaza ends and the blockade is lifted," they added.

"Targeting civilian objects is targeting the Yemeni people and their capabilities and reflects the entity (Israel)'s failure to achieve its goals in Yemen.

The Zionist aggression will only increase the Yemenis' steadfastness in their position supporting Gaza and the patient Palestinian people by all available means," they claimed.

Houthi-owned Beirut-based Al Masirah TV claimed that at least three were killed and at least 35 wounded as part of the airstrikes.

Sanaa International Airport began evacuating its employees on Tuesday afternoon amid warnings from the IDF of an upcoming strike, according to local reports. Roads leading to the airport were closed, the Saudi-based outlet Al Hadath reported.

A flight from Jordan was reportedly canceled

A Yemenia Airlines plane was forced to abort taking off from Jordan's Queen Alia International Airport, given it was scheduled to fly to Sanaa, a prominent Yemeni journalist reported.

However, Sanaa International Airport's departure board showed that flights scheduled to Amman and Djibouti were still due to depart.

The Houthi official news agency, Saba News, reported that local tribes in Yemen's Sanaa, Dhamar, and Raymah Governorates gathered and called for "a general mobilization" to denounce "American and Israeli aggression."
