Baku, TurkicWorld
Yemen’s Houthis said Israel struck the capital Sanaa on Sunday, the latest attack against the Iran-backed group which has launched missiles and drones at Israel throughout the Gaza war, TurkicWorld reports citing Al Alrabiya.
The Houthis’ Al-Masirah TV reported an Israeli “aggression on the capital Sanaa,” without providing details.
A Houthi security source told AFP that the air raid targeted a municipality building in central Sanaa, adding that there were reports of casualties.
There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military.
Since the October 2023 start of the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have repeatedly fired missiles and drones at Israel, claiming to be acting in solidarity with the Palestinians.
Most Houthi attacks have been intercepted, but have prompted Israeli air strikes on targets in Yemen.
On August 17, Israel said it targeted an energy infrastructure site in Sanaa linked to the Houthis, with Al-Masirah reporting at the time the capital’s Haziz power station was hit.
