"The strikes on Sunday were the latest in over a year of direct attacks and counterstrikes between Israel and Houthi militants in Yemen, part of a spillover from the war in Gaza. The Israeli military said the targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, two power plants and a fuel storage site. The strikes killed four people and injured 67 in a near-final toll, a Houthi health ministry spokesperson said on X."
"Since Israel's war in Gaza against the Palestinian militant group Hamas began in October 2023, the Iran-aligned Houthis have attacked vessels in the Red Sea in what they describe as acts of solidarity with the Palestinians. They have also frequently fired missiles towards Israel, most of which have been intercepted. Israel has responded with strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, including the vital Hodeidah port."
Israeli strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa in retaliation for Houthi missiles fired toward Israel, killing four people and wounding 67 according to Houthi health officials. Israeli military targets included a military compound near the presidential palace, two power plants and a fuel storage site. The strikes responded to repeated Houthi-launched surface-to-surface missiles and UAVs toward Israeli territory. The Houthis said they fired a ballistic missile in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, and an Israeli official said the missile likely carried submunitions, the first known launch of that type from Yemen. Since October 2023 the Iran-aligned Houthis have attacked Red Sea vessels and launched multiple missile attacks, prompting Israeli counterstrikes including on Hodeidah port.
