Israel Launches Airstrikes on Yemen Following Attacks by Houthi Rebels

Following attacks from Houthi rebels, Israel has initiated airstrikes on Yemen’s capital city of Sanaa. The strikes occurred on Sunday afternoon, causing explosions that were heard throughout the city. A security source confirmed the attacks, stating that Israel targeted locations near the presidential palace and missile sites. These strikes follow a pattern of Israeli actions, beginning with Gaza, followed by Lebanon, Syria, and now Yemen. This raises questions about potential escalation, including the possibility of conflict with Iran, especially with concerns surrounding the recognition of Palestine by Western nations. Reports indicate that the airstrikes targeted a municipal building in central Sanaa, resulting in casualties. Similar attacks have been reported in the port city of Hodeidah.
