Israeli airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, have killed six people and injured 86 others, according to the Houthi-run health ministry. Among the wounded are seven children and three women, with 21 in critical condition. The strikes targeted fuel stations, power plants, and civilian facilities, sparking outrage from Houthi leaders. 🚨
‘Brutal Aggression’ Alleged
The Houthis accused Israel of attacking civilian infrastructure, including the presidential palace complex, and claimed the U.S. shares responsibility for the ‘heinous crime.’ Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, stating military sites were targeted. State-owned Kan TV reported 14 warplanes dropped 40 bombs during the assault. 💣
Retaliation Looms
The strikes follow a Houthi hypersonic missile attack on Tel Aviv two days prior, which caused property damage but no deaths. Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched repeated attacks on Israel in solidarity with Gaza, prompting Israeli counterstrikes. 🔄
What’s Next?
With tensions soaring, the Houthis have vowed to retaliate, raising fears of further escalation in a region already grappling with conflict. Analysts warn the cycle of violence could destabilize broader Middle East peace efforts. 🌐
