Overview

  • Israel said it hit a military site where the presidential palace is located, two power plants and a fuel storage facility in Sanaa in response to repeated Houthi launches.
  • An Israeli Air Force official said the Houthi projectile fired Friday likely carried several sub‑munitions, marking a new challenge for interception.
  • The IDF opened a probe into why layered defenses did not fully stop the missile, noting multiple systems, including THAAD, Arrow, David’s Sling and Iron Dome, engaged it.
  • Fragments landed near Ben‑Gurion Airport and in the yard of a home in Ginaton with no injuries reported, according to Israeli authorities.
  • Houthi-run media and health officials reported at least two people killed and dozens wounded in Sanaa, while Israel said more than 10 aircraft struck targets roughly 2,000 km away.
