Avichay Adraee said in a post translated from Arabic on X, along with a map of an area highlighted in red around the airport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Failure to evacuate and move away from the place exposes you to danger,&#8217; he added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Eyewitnesses reported four strikes in the capital city on Tuesday by the IDF, according to a Reuters report which cited the Houthi-run&nbsp;Al-Masirah&nbsp;TV.<\/p>\n<p>Adraee did not say whether Israel was planning on striking the international airport in the Houthi-controlled capital, but the warning came one day after Israel hit Houthi targets in Yemen in response to strikes fired by the terrorist group one day prior.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the Iran-backed Houthis launched a missile that landed near Israel\u2019s largest airport in Tel Aviv in an apparent response to Israel\u2019s newly announced expanded military operations in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The Houthi\u2019s vowed to hit Israel with &#8216;a comprehensive aerial blockade.&#8217;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following the Houthi strike on Israel\u2019s Ben-Gurion Airport, Jerusalem scrambled some 20 jets and on Monday hit the Yemeni port of Al-Hudaydah, which is the second-largest port in Yemen and accounts for 80% of the nation\u2019s food imports.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Houthis accused the U.S. of carrying out joint strikes with Israel on Monday which killed four people and injured 39, according to the Houthi-run&nbsp;health ministry. The U.S. has reportedly denied involvement in the joint strike.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has ramped up its aerial and naval strikes against the Houthis, and since Operation Rough Rider commenced in mid-March, some 800 Houthi targets have been hit, according to an April 27 statement by U.S. Central Command.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israel Defense Force (IDF) issued an unusual message on social media Tuesday and urged&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":978,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-977","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/978"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moderncryptotrader.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
