Israeli strikes on Yemeni capital Sanaa kill 6, wound dozens
The Israeli military said the targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, 2 power plants and a fuel storage site
Israeli strikes hit the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Sunday in retaliation for Houthi missiles fired towards Israel, with Houthi health officials saying the attack killed sex people and wounded 86.
The Israeli military said the targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, two power plants and a fuel storage site.
The strikes killed six people and injured 86 in a final toll, a Houthi Health Ministry spokesman said on social media.
“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 towards Israeli territory in recent days,” the Israeli military said in a statement.
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”.
