Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed that their air defenses and rocket forces successfully shot down several Israeli fighter jets on August 24. According to a senior Yemeni military source, the attack forced Israeli aircraft to retreat after conducting strikes on key sites in Sanaa. The Israeli air force's operation was reportedly in response to a previous Houthi attack with cluster munitions near Tel Aviv. Tensions continue to escalate as both sides exchange military actions.
