Israeli strikes pound Yemen's capital as Houthi leader decries Gaza war
"The Israeli military has launched air strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, Al Masirah TV reported, adding that plumes of smoke were seen rising over the city following the attacks. Thursday's strikes were confirmed by an Israeli army spokesperson, who said forces used dozens of warplanes and air support units to target the alleged command headquarters of the Houthi General Staff and compounds of the group's security and intelligence apparatus."
"But, according to the Houthi-affiliated media, two were killed and 48 were wounded in the attack. The strikes notably come as Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi was giving a televised speech. The headquarters of the military propaganda department and manned military camps storing weapons were among the Sanaa-based targets cited by the Israeli army, which said the strikes were in response to Houthi drone and missile attacks on Israel."

Israel's Defence Minister said the strikes killed dozens of Houthi operatives, while Houthi-affiliated media reported two dead and 48 wounded. Targets included the military propaganda headquarters and manned camps storing weapons, and Israel said the strikes retaliated for Houthi drone and missile attacks, including a claimed drone strike on a hotel in Eilat. The attacks occurred as Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi gave a televised speech condemning US support for Israel and praising Palestinian operations.
