🚨 In a dramatic escalation, Israeli warplanes launched a series of airstrikes over Yemen's capital, Sanaa, on Sunday. According to Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, key government and military sites—from the presidential palace to power stations—were targeted.
Local health officials reported six people killed and 86 wounded. Hospitals are scrambling to treat the influx, with doctors calling for more supplies and emergency support.
The raids struck central, southern, and southwestern Sanaa, hitting the state oil company building, fuel depots, and the Capital Secretariat. Israel's defense minister, Israel Katz, confirmed the operation but shared few details.
This wave of strikes follows a rare Houthi attack on Tel Aviv just two days earlier. The Houthis fired a hypersonic ballistic missile—a super-fast weapon traveling faster than sound—causing property damage but no reported casualties. The group cites solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza as its motive. In response, Israel has carried out targeted raids on Houthi-held areas, including Hodeidah port.
For young professionals and students tracking global flashpoints, this latest chapter underscores how regional tensions can spill across borders. Stay tuned as the situation unfolds and relief efforts ramp up in Sanaa.
