Israel drops around 30 munitions on Yemen’s capital
The Israeli military has now confirmed that they did, in fact, carry out a series of airstrikes in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, dropping about 30 different munitions across this area, where they say they targeted a compound where the presidential palace is. They also targeted power stations.
There were around a dozen planes from the Israeli Air Force used in this attack, along with refuelers, and the military says that it’s in response to continued attacks the Houthis have been carrying out against Israel.
The defence minister has been quite outspoken, saying that Israel will… destroy a Houthi infrastructure and destroy any other capabilities they have.
It’s not the first time Israel has conducted airstrikes in Yemen, but the Houthis are still able to conduct these attacks [on Israel] and they say they’re doing them in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza because of their suffering, and that the attacks are going to continue as long as Israel’s more on Gaza continues as well.

At least two people have been killed and five wounded as a result of an Israeli attack on the Yemeni capital. The Israeli army said it targeted Houthi “military infrastructure”, including a site in the presidency palace, and the Asar and Hizaz power plants.

The Israeli army strikes on Sanaa, which Israeli media claim used more than 30 munitions to hit four targets, come two days after the Houthis said they launched a ballistic missile and two drones at Israel’s Tel Aviv and Ashkelon.
The Israeli military has now confirmed that for the first time, the Yemeni group used a cluster warhead missile, a projectile that splits into multiple new explosives when it is traveling down toward its target area. Similar munitions were used by Iran to hit Israel during the 12-day war in June as well.
The Houthis have not commented on the claim, having only introduced the projectile as Palestine-2 “hypersonic” ballistic missile, something they have used in previous strikes as well.
Footage circulating online after the Houthis’ Friday strike showed fragments coming down over Tel Aviv. No casualty or significant damage was reported by Israeli authorities.
