Overview

  • Israel’s military said it hit a site near the presidential complex in Sanaa, the Haziz and Asar power plants, and a fuel storage location it linked to Houthi operations.
  • Houthi health authorities initially reported at least two dead and 35 wounded, with later figures cited by local media rising to four fatalities and 67 injuries.
  • The strikes followed what Israel described as the first Houthi cluster‑munition missile used against it since 2023, a projectile that fragmented in flight without reported casualties.
  • Houthi officials vowed the raids would not deter them and pledged to continue attacks on Israel in support of Palestinians in Gaza.
  • In Gaza, Israel is pressing an intensified campaign as Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Gaza City could be demolished if Hamas does not surrender, while health officials report mounting deaths from starvation.
