On 26 December 2024, twenty-five Israeli Air Force aircraft struck multiple targets in the areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthi Movement, most notably on the capital's Sanaa International Airport. According to Israel, the attacks, which were part of their operation code-named Operation Tzelilei HaKerem (English: Operation Sounds of the Vineyard), were carried out in response to the firing of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward Israel by the Houthi Movement. It took place as part of multiple Israeli airstrikes in Yemen in December amidst the Houthi involvement in the Gaza war.
