Israel launched a series of deadly airstrikes on Yemen's capital Sanaa, targeting key infrastructure and military sites near the presidential palace. The attacks killed at least six people and wounded over eighty, with dramatic footage showing massive fireballs and terrified residents fleeing the blasts. Israeli officials stated the strikes were in response to ongoing Houthi attacks, including recent missile launches and disruptions to Red Sea shipping. The Houthis, backed by Iran, vowed to continue their operations in support of Palestinians, while Israel maintained its air and naval blockade. The escalation follows a period of intensified conflict, with both sides trading strikes and warnings, and international shipping routes remaining under threat.
