At least two people have been killed and five wounded in the Israeli attack on the Yemeni capital, according to Houthi-affiliated media, Al Jazeera reported.
The Israeli army said it targeted Houthi military infrastructure, including a site in the presidential palace and the Asar and Hizaz power plants.
The Israeli military confirmed that they carried out a series of air strikes in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, dropping about 30 different munitions across this area, where they say they targeted a compound where the presidential palace is. They also targeted power stations, Al Jazeera reported.
There were around a dozen planes from the Israeli air force used in this attack along with refuellers, and the military says that it's in response to continued attacks the Houthis have been carrying out against Israel.
The defence minister has been quite outspoken, saying, "Israel will ... destroy Houthi infrastructure and destroy any other capabilities they have. It's not the first time Israel has conducted air strikes in Yemen, but the Houthis are still able to conduct these attacks [on Israel], and they say they're doing them in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza because of their suffering).
