Israeli airstrikes have targeted Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict. These airstrikes followed a recent attack by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, who fired cluster munitions toward Israel. According to the Israeli military, this marked the first such missile launch since 2023.
Details of the Strikes
Local Houthi media reported that multiple areas across Sanaa were hit during the Israeli airstrikes. Key targets included energy hubs, resulting in several casualties and injuries.
Background of the Conflict
The Houthis, supported by Iran, have been involved in ongoing hostilities against Israel. Recent escalations include the launch of new types of missiles aimed at Israel’s largest airport. This increased threat led to Israel’s retaliatory airstrikes.
Broader Implications
The conflict in Yemen, which has persisted for years, continues to destabilize the region. The Houthis maintain control over significant territories in northern Yemen, including the capital, Sanaa. Israel’s direct military action against the Houthis highlights the complex network of alliances and rivalries within the Middle East.
International Concerns
International observers have expressed concern that these escalations could expand the conflict further and worsen the humanitarian crises in Yemen, a country already facing severe instability.
