Overview

• Israel conducted a second airstrike on Sana’a in five days on Thursday, following a previous raid on Sunday.
• The Israeli military said it hit Houthi military sites, Al Masirah confirmed the bombing, and authorities in Sana’a reported no serious effects.
• Some Israeli media reported the strike targeted an area hosting senior Houthi figures, including leader Abdul Malik al Houthi, though this has not been independently verified.
• Yemeni outlets said the Houthi prime minister, identified as Al‑Rahwi, was killed in a separate raid in the capital, a claim the movement has not confirmed as the IDF provided few details.
• The actions come after months of Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping and repeated missile and drone launches toward Israel that have disrupted trade routes.
