In a major military operation, the Israeli air force launched extensive airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, claiming it was a response to repeated drone and missile attacks from the Houthi movement. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that dozens of aircraft bombed key military and intelligence sites, while Houthi officials condemned the strikes as a 'brutal crime,' asserting that civilian areas were also hit, resulting in eight deaths and over 140 injuries. This escalation comes amid heightened tensions following Houthi attacks on Israel, which they claim are in solidarity with Palestinians amid the ongoing Gaza conflict. The IDF emphasized its commitment to countering Houthi threats and indicated that further operations could follow. The situation remains volatile, with both sides exchanging accusations of targeting civilians.
