On Sunday, Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s capital city, Sanaa, targeting Iran-backed Houthi rebel positions. The attacks were a response to the Houthis’ reported launch of a missile containing cluster munitions towards Israel, marking the first use of such weapons since 2023. According to Houthi health officials, the strikes were devastating, resulting in at least six deaths and injuring dozens, with over 80 people wounded.
The Israeli military stated that these airstrikes were a direct retaliation for the recent missile attacks by the Houthis. The strikes targeted multiple locations across Sanaa, including:
- Key military hubs
- Energy facilities
This has further escalated the conflict in the region.
The hostilities reflect a deepening regional instability, as tensions between Israel and Houthi rebels—who are backed by Iran—continue to rise. The international community remains closely attentive, concerned about the potential for a wider conflict.
This strike is part of a broader series of confrontations that have caused significant casualties on both sides in recent days. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Yemen remains critical, with vulnerable populations caught in the crossfire.
