Flights Resume in Yemen's Capital After Israeli Strikes
Imagine a country in Yemen where rebels control the airport.
A week ago, there was an attack that damaged the airport and some planes.
Now, flights have started again!
The first flight came from Jordan.
This all happened because of issues between the rebels and Israel.
The rebels have been shooting missiles at Israel, and Israel responded.
This has caused problems for the airport and led to more conflict.
Flights resumed at Sanaa International Airport in Yemen on Saturday.
The airport had been disabled due to Israeli airstrikes on May 6.
The strikes were in response to Houthi attacks on Israel.
The first flight to resume service arrived from Amman, Jordan.
Three more flights were scheduled between Sanaa and Amman on Saturday.
