Israel Yemen Attack: 35 Dead, Over 130 Injured in Strikes

Israel Yemen Attack leaves 35 dead and 130+ injured as airstrikes hit Sana’a and Al-Jawf. Rescue operations and Houthi retaliation underway. In a shocking escalation of regional tensions, Israel launched airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, and the Al-Jawf province, just a day after carrying out attacks in Qatar’s capital, Doha. The assaults have left at least 35 people dead and over 130 injured, according to Yemen’s Ministry of Health. Rescue operations are ongoing, and the casualty figures are expected to rise.

Targeted Areas and Damage Reported

The Yemen Ministry of Health reported that the airstrikes hit residential neighborhoods in Sana’a, including the Al-Tahrir area, as well as a medical center located on the 60th Street in the city’s southwest. In Al-Jawf’s capital, Al-Hazm, government compounds were also severely damaged. Local civil defense teams are working tirelessly to extinguish fires and rescue survivors from the rubble.

Al-Masirah TV, controlled by the Houthi movement, confirmed the attacks on Telegram, stating that multiple houses were damaged and several civilians were either killed or injured.

Houthi Response to Israeli Strikes

The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Sari, announced that their forces retaliated using ground-to-air missiles. According to him, some Israeli aircraft were forced to retreat without completing their missions. This marks a significant escalation in hostilities between Israel and Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.

Israel Confirms the Airstrikes

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) officially confirmed the operations, stating that several strategic locations in Sana’a and Al-Jawf were targeted during the airstrikes. While the exact extent of the destruction is still being assessed, the attacks underline the increasing volatility in the region.

Implications for Regional Stability

The recent strikes in Yemen, following the attack in Qatar, highlight rising tensions across the Middle East. Analysts warn that continued military operations could exacerbate civilian casualties and further destabilize already fragile areas. Humanitarian organizations are calling for urgent international intervention to protect civilians and provide emergency aid.
