Raydah (Arabic: ريدة; sometimes transliterated Raidah or al-Raidah) is a large market town located 49 kilometres (30 mi) north of Sana'a, and 11 miles (18 km) north of Amran, in northwestern Yemen.

[1] In previous years, before most Yemeni Jews emigrated, the Suq al-yahud or Jewish market was held here.

Following Nahari's murder, the Jewish community expressed how vulnerable they felt, and complained that they had been harassed and threatened by extremists.

In 2016, amid the Yemeni civil war, the Israeli government launched a covert operation to airlift 19 Jews from Raydah to Israel, effectively marking the end of the town's Jewish community.

However, funding cuts and the ongoing civil war have reduced the hospital's ability to treat patients.
