#BREAKING: Israeli airstrikes targeted Houthi positions in Sanaa, the capital of Yemen, early Thursday morning, August 28, 2025. The strikes are reported to have caused significant damage to military installations.

Eyewitnesses reported multiple explosions in the city, with local authorities confirming that the attacks were aimed at sites used by the Iran-aligned Houthi movement. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have not yet issued a statement regarding the operation.

This escalation follows a series of tensions in the region, including recent developments surrounding Iran's influence in Yemen and its support for the Houthis in the ongoing conflict against the Saudi-led coalition.

The ramifications of these airstrikes could be significant, potentially escalating military responses from Houthi forces and affecting the fragile security situation in Yemen. Analysts suggest that this could lead to increased regional instability as the conflict continues to draw in various international actors.
