Overview

• The Israeli army said it bombed a Houthi-run energy infrastructure site in Sanaa with a long-range strike reaching about 2,000 km from its bases.
• Tsahal described the action as a direct response to repeated missile and drone attacks on its territory by the Iran-backed group.
• Houthi-affiliated media and a Yemeni civil defence source reported an 'aggression' against a Sanaa power plant, though independent verification on casualties is lacking.
• The strike continues a pattern of reciprocal attacks between Israel and the Houthis that has widened the Gaza conflict into a regional confrontation and threatened Red Sea shipping routes.
• Concerns over civilian harm to critical infrastructure have grown as on-the-ground reporting remains limited and proxy dynamics escalate.
