SANAA/TEL AVIV: Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s capital on Sunday, days after the Houthi rebels fired a missile toward Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had launched at it since 2023. The Iranian-backed Houthis said multiple areas across Sanaa were hit, while the Houthi-run health ministry said six people were killed and 86 others were wounded. The rebels’ Al-Masirah satellite television reported a strike on an oil company, and video on social media showed a fireball erupting there.

Israel has begun striking the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital of Sanaa, an Israeli official said on Sunday.

Houthi official says Israeli attacks will not stop group from continuing support for Gaza, ‘no matter the sacrifices’.
