Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa reportedly killed six and wounded dozens in response to Houthi missile attacks.
The strikes targeted military sites, including the presidential palace and key power stations.
Houthi officials vowed to continue their military operations in support of Palestinians in Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes targeted Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Sunday, killing at least six people and injuring over 80 others, according to various Houthi sources. The strikes were a direct retaliation for previous Houthi missile launches aimed at Israel, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict stemming from the war in Gaza, which began in October 2023, according to aljazeera, indiatimes, middleeasteye, scmp, channelnewsasia, trtglobal, aa, reuters.

The Israeli military confirmed its targets included the presidential palace, military complexes, and power stations such as the Asar and Hizaz facilities. The strikes left considerable destruction, with multiple witnesses reporting intense explosions and fires, highlighting the destructive nature of the military engagement in Sanaa, reports latimes, huffpost, and dawn.

The Houthis asserted their resolve to persist with military actions against Israel, claiming these operations are in solidarity with Palestinians amidst the ongoing conflict. Their leadership has declared that such strikes will not deter them, reflecting a broader regional context of hostilities exacerbated by the current Israel-Hamas war, according to bbc, reuters, and thejakartapost.
