Loud explosions shook Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, on Sunday afternoon as Israeli airstrikes targeted areas near the presidential complex and missile bases, according to multiple reports. The strikes come in response to recent Houthi rebel attacks, including the firing of cluster missiles towards Israel.
A security source confirmed Israel’s involvement in the airstrikes, which also impacted the port city of Hodeidah. The Iranian-backed Houthi rebels acknowledged the strikes, stating that multiple areas across Sanaa were hit.
The Israeli military described the Houthi cluster missile launch towards Israel as the first of its kind since 2023, prompting the retaliatory strikes. The attacks resulted in casualties, with two individuals reported dead and 35 others injured. Power plants and military sites were among the targets hit during the airstrikes.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed Houthi rebels has escalated in recent days, with both sides engaging in military actions. The situation in Yemen remains volatile, with civilian populations caught in the crossfire.
As the international community monitors the developments in Yemen closely, concerns about the humanitarian impact of the conflict continue to grow. Efforts to de-escalate tensions and find a peaceful resolution to the conflict are crucial to preventing further violence and instability in the region.
