Israeli Airstrikes on Sanaa Leave 46 Dead, 165 Injured

Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen, have resulted in at least 46 fatalities and left 165 others injured, according to the Houthi-run Health Ministry. The strikes occurred on Friday, September 12, 2025, intensifying an already dire humanitarian crisis in the region.

This latest assault comes amid ongoing conflict and unrest in Yemen, where the civil war has drawn in multiple regional powers. The Houthi rebels have been engaged in a protracted struggle against a Saudi-led coalition since 2015, with significant implications for the stability of the entire Middle East. The airstrikes have sparked outrage among local officials and international observers, who have called for urgent humanitarian assistance.

In recent developments, the international community has been increasingly vocal about the need for a ceasefire and negotiations. Just this week, the UN General Assembly voted on a historic Palestinian state resolution, reflecting a broader context of escalating tensions in the region. As previously reported, other nations, including the UAE, have condemned similar military actions, indicating widespread concern over Israel"s military strategies in the Middle East.

The impact of the airstrikes in Sanaa is profound, exacerbating an already critical humanitarian situation. With more than 80% of Yemen’s population reliant on aid, the need for immediate assistance is greater than ever. Humanitarian organizations are urging for a ceasefire to allow for the delivery of essential supplies and medical aid.
