The attacks come a day after at least 20 people were injured in a drone attack at the resort town of Eilat in southern Israel, according to Israeli reports. According to the Israeli military, the drone was launched from Yemen and the Iran-backed Houthi movement later claimed responsibility for the attack.
According to AFP, Thursday's Israeli attack on Sanaa was carried out just before Al-Masirah began broadcasting the pre-recorded speech of rebel leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi.
Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz writes on X that Israel "has dealt a powerful blow to several terrorist targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist organization in Sanaa.” Katz claims at the same time that dozens of people belonging to the movement have been killed and that drone and weapons warehouses have also been destroyed.
