Early on Thursday, Israeli planes attacked different areas in Yemen including the capital, Sanaa, and the port city of Hodeidah. This information was shared by Al Masirah TV, which is run by the Houthi movement that controls much of Yemen. The Israeli strikes hit two main power stations, one north and one south of Sanaa. Yemen’s SABA news agency reported that four strikes hit Hodeidah, and two of those hit the Ras Issa oil facility, causing injuries and fatalities among workers there.
Israel’s military stated that they aimed for specific Houthi military targets in Yemen, including ports and places for energy in Sanaa. They mentioned that the locations they attacked were used by Houthi forces for military purposes. Earlier on Thursday, the Israeli military also reported that they intercepted a missile fired from Yemen.
The Houthi fighters, who are supported by Iran, have been attacking international ships near Yemen since last November, showing their support for Palestinians during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
