SANAA: Israel struck Sanaa on Thursday, killing at least eight people and wounding more than 140, Yemen’s Houthis said, a day after the rebels launched a drone attack on southern Israel.
Israeli forces struck several Houthi-linked targets in the rebel-held capital, Israeli officials said, warning of more attacks to come. Houthi media said the targets included a detention facility.
AFP correspondents in Sanaa heard explosions and saw plumes of smoke rising from three locations in the Sanaa area, in the latest retaliatory attack since the Houthis began targeting Israel in the wake of the Gaza war.
Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said in a post on X that the tally “rose to eight martyrs and 142 wounded,” adding that rescuers were still searching for victims under the rubble.
