Overview

  • The Israel Defense Forces said navy missile boats hit generators at the Hezyaz power plant south of Sana’a to degrade Houthi missile and drone capabilities.
  • Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported damage to the Haziz facility and a fire that emergency crews contained without reporting casualties.
  • Moments after the Yemen strike set off sirens in Jerusalem and central Israel a single missile was shot down by Israeli air defenses.
  • Israeli officials accused the Iran-aligned Houthis of directing terror under Tehran’s guidance and vowed to continue striking any threats to Israel.
  • The latest exchange builds on months of cross-border retaliation that has battered Yemeni civilian infrastructure and threatened Red Sea shipping lanes.
