=====Saudis break ceasefire=====
 +
 +
On July 14, 2026 the [[Saudi]]s broke the ceasefire with Yemen by again bombing the airport in Sanaa: The purpose of the strikes on the Sanaa airport was to prevent the landing of a plane from [[Iran]] carrying a Yemeni delegation that attended the funeral of the late Iranian Supreme Leader [[Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]]. Despite the strikes, the plane was rerouted and landed at the airport in the Yemeni [[Red Sea]] port city of Hodeidah.

The strikes came after the Saudi-led coalition threatened to take action in response to an Iranian flight that landed in Sanaa on July 3. At the time, Ansar Allah said that its forces "repelled" Saudi warplanes attempting to interfere with the flight, and two days later, Houthi fighters launched an offensive against Saudi-backed forces, the heaviest fighting between the two sides in years.

While the two sides agreed to a [[ceasefire]] in 2022, a long-standing blockade on Yemen that included restrictions on Sanaa airport was only partially lifted, and in recent months, calls have been growing in Yemen for a complete end to the siege.<ref>https://headlineusa.com/saudi-led-forces-bomb-yemens-sanaa-airport-reigniting-war-with-the-houthis/</ref>
