AL Jazeera said that the Israeli strikes came two days after the Houthis claimed a missile launch against Israel.
In a statement issued on Telegram, the IDF said that the strikes were conducted in response to repeated attacks by the Houthis against Israel, including the launching of surface-to-surface missiles and UAVs toward Israeli territory in recent days.
The statement further added, "The presidential palace in the Sanaa area is located within a military site from which the military forces of the Houthi terrorist regime operate.
