Israeli Airstrikes on Yemen’s Sanaa and al-Jawf Kill Nine, Wound Over 100 in Escalating Conflict

 

Houthi fighters join protesters, as they demonstrate to show support to Palestinians in Gaza at Sabeen Square in Sanaa, Yemen


Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes on Wednesday targeting Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and the northern province of al-Jawf, killing at least nine people and injuring 118 others, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.

The Israeli military confirmed it struck what it described as Houthi “military camps,” the group’s military propaganda headquarters, and a fuel storage site. Witnesses reported that the strikes also hit the Houthi defence ministry and a command facility hidden between two mountains.

Houthi officials accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, including a medical facility and newspaper offices, and claimed their air defences forced some Israeli aircraft to retreat before releasing their payloads.

The attacks come amid more than a year of tit-for-tat strikes between Israel and the Iran-aligned Houthis, whose missile and drone assaults on Israel and Red Sea shipping are framed as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The latest escalation follows an August 30 strike that killed the Houthi prime minister and several ministers, marking one of the most high-profile assassinations since the Gaza war began in October 2023.

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed to continue operations, declaring that Israel would strike “wherever a threat to our citizens emanates”. The Houthis, meanwhile, pledged to maintain their attacks until a Gaza ceasefire is reached.
