Israel strikes Yemeni capital Sanaa

Israeli strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Sunday in retaliation for Houthi missiles fired towards Israel.

The Israeli military has launched a series of attacks on energy facilities in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, the Yemeni Al Masirah TV channel reported.

The Israeli military said the targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, two power plants and a fuel storage site.

"The strikes were conducted in response to repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the State of Israel and its civilians, including the launching of surface-to-surface missiles and UAVs toward Israeli territory in recent days," the Israeli military said.

It was reported that the number of wounded people reached 86, six people were killed.

On Friday, the Houthis said they had fired a ballistic missile towards Israel in their latest attack, which they said was in support of Palestinians in Gaza. An Israeli Air Force official said on Sunday the missile most likely carried several sub-munitions "intended to be detonated upon impact."
