Israeli airstrikes target Houthis in Sanaa; videos capture panic

Overview

  • Targets included a military compound housing the presidential palace, the Asar and Hizaz power plants, and a fuel storage site that Israel says supported Houthi military activity.
  • An Israeli Air Force official said Friday’s projectile from Yemen likely carried cluster sub‑munitions, marking the first known use of such a missile by the Houthis against Israel.
  • Israeli defenses engaged the missile multiple times before it fragmented in mid‑air, with shrapnel landing in central Israel and causing no injuries, and the IDF opened a probe into the interception outcome.
  • More than 10 Israeli fighter jets took part in the operation, with the furthest target roughly 2,000 kilometers from Israel, according to an Israeli air force official.
  • Houthi-run media and health authorities reported at least two people killed and dozens wounded in Sanaa, with casualty figures varying across their statements, and Houthi leaders vowed to continue launches in support of Gaza.
