Overview

• The Israeli military reported hits on two power plants, a fuel depot, and a military installation in an area that includes the presidential palace in Sanaa.
• Military sources said more than ten fighter jets conducted the mission with in‑flight refueling to reach targets roughly 2,000 kilometers from Israel.
• Casualty figures from Huthi-run outlets vary and remain unverified, with reports ranging from two dead and five injured to six dead and 86 injured.
• An Israeli Air Force representative said the Friday rocket from Yemen most likely carried multiple submunitions, described as the first such launch from Yemen, and debris fell near Ben Gurion airport.
• Israel framed the strikes as a response to repeated Huthi rocket and drone fire since 2023, while Amnesty’s earlier report on Iran’s use of cluster munitions in June has renewed legal scrutiny.
