I think it's called Jazirt Atta-Ir, and it's only about 2 miles long. I don't know if it's inhabited or not.

This is from MSNBC:

The eruption began when the volcano exploded Sunday evening on Jabal al-Tair, an oval island about 2 miles across that is unpopulated except for a small Yemeni military base used for naval control of nearby shipping lanes.
