CAIRO — The death toll from Israel’s latest airstrikes on Yemen’s rebel-held capital has risen to 10, health authorities said Monday.
Multiple strikes rocked Sanaa on Sunday, days after the Iranian-backed Houthis fired a missile towards Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had launched at it since 2023.
The Israeli strikes hit a facility owned by Yemen’s main oil company, which is controlled by the Houthis, along with a power plant and a military site in an area where the presidential palace is located, according to the Houthis and Israel’s military. A fireball and plume of thick smoke rose above the city.
Anees al-Asbahi, a spokesman for the Houthi-run Health Ministry, said in a statement that 10 people were killed in the strikes on the oil facility a
