Two residential neighborhoods in Yemen's Houthi-held capital Sanaa have been greatly damaged in Israel's attacks on Thursday. Israel launched multiple airstrikes on Sanaa on Thursday, resulting in at least nine deaths and 174 injuries, the Houthi-run health authorities said, adding that the casualty toll could further increase. The Israeli military stated that its operations were aimed at Houthi militants and military camps. However, reports from al-Masirah TV indicated that the Israeli airstrikes targeted the Dhahban power station, the Presidential Palace complex, the General Security Camp, as well as two residential neighborhoods in the city. Eyewitnesses described thick black smoke rising across the city as fighter jets roared overhead. Many residents rushed to open their windows out of fear that pressure waves from the explosions could shatter the glass. Local civil defense and rescue teams were continuing their efforts to search for missing persons amid the rubble. Israel has been conducting airstrikes on Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen since 2024, in retaliation for Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israeli territory. The Houthis say their assaults are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Their attacks intensified after Israel killed senior Houthi government officials in Sanaa in August.
