The Israeli military said it struck targets linked to Yemen’s Houthis in Sanaa on Thursday, a day after the group claimed a drone attack on a hotel in Israel’s Red Sea resort of Eilat.
The Houthi-run health ministry said two people were killed and 48 wounded in the attack, which it said hit civilian and service facilities. Civil defence teams were still working at the scene.
The Israeli military said in a statement that the Houthi general staff’s control headquarters, security and intelligence compounds, and military camps were among the targets attacked by its air force.
“We have now delivered a powerful strike on numerous terror targets of the Houthi terror organisation in Sanaa”, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said in a post on X.
The strikes are the latest in more than a year
