At least ten Israeli airstrikes targeted Sanaa, the Houthi-controlled capital of Yemen, early Thursday morning, coinciding with a speech by Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Baddredine Al-Houthi. The strikes reportedly aimed at various military positions within the city, intensifying the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Iranian-backed Houthi movement.
The airstrikes occurred as Al-Houthi addressed supporters, reaffirming the group's commitment to resist Israeli actions in the region. Witnesses reported significant explosions and thick smoke rising from several locations in Sanaa, causing widespread concern among residents.
This escalation follows a series of similar incidents in recent weeks, where Israeli forces have targeted Houthi positions in Yemen, citing threats posed by Iranian influence in the region. The situation remains tense as local military sources indicate that the strikes have caused both casualties and damage to Houthi infrastructure.
The international community is closely monitoring the developments, with calls for restraint from various nations. As previously reported, the conflict continues to draw in regional powers, highlighting the complex dynamics at play in the Middle East.
