Israel struck Yemen’s on Sunday after the Iran-backed rebels fired a
new type of missile at Israel.
The Israeli military said it struck a military site where the
presidential palace is located, as well as two power plants and a fuel
storage site.
At least four people were killed and 67 others were wounded in the
strikes on the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, the Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV
reported on Sunday, citing the country’s Ministry of Health.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said “the strikes were conducted in
response to repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the
State of Israel and its civilians.”
More than 10 fighter jets participated in the strikes, according to an
Israeli air force official, who said the furthest target was
approximately 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) from Israel.
“For every missile the Houthis launch at Israel, they will pay many
times over,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a
statement. “Today we brought upon the Houthis a blow of darkness and
blackout—and going forward, there will be a blow of the firstborn as
well.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacks showed the
“strength and determination” of his country. “The Houthi terror
regime is learning the hard way that it will pay—and is paying—a
very heavy price for its aggression against the State of Israel,”
Netanyahu said.
Al-Masirah said there was “Zionist aggression ongoing on the capital
Sanaa,” a city controlled by the Houthis.
A member of the Houthi leadership, Mohammad al-Farrah said that the
Houthis would continue to support the people of Gaza and would “not
retreat from it until the aggression is lifted, the siege is broken,
and the starvation of Gaza’s people is stopped.”
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei praised the attacks as the
“right course of action,” saying on X that “what the brave people
of Yemen are doing today is the right thing to do.”
The strikes follow the Houthis’ launch of a missile against Israel on
Friday.
An Israeli air force official said that for the first time, a Houthi
missile contained a number of sub-munitions, which were intended to be
detonated upon impact.
Police in the Tel Aviv district said Friday they were several sites
where interception fragments had landed. No injuries were reported.
