Israeli strikes in Yemen kill 35 people, Houthis say
Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have resulted in the deaths of at least 35 people, according to the Houthi rebels. The attacks took place on Tuesday in the city of Sanaa, with the targets reportedly including a military camp and a weapons storage facility.
The Houthi spokesperson condemned the Israeli action as a violation of Yemeni sovereignty and called for international condemnation. They claimed that the strikes have caused significant civilian casualties and demanded accountability from Israel.
On the other hand, the Israeli government has not officially commented on the incident. However, Israel has previously expressed concerns about perceived threats from Iran and its proxies in the region, including the Houthis. The Israeli military has conducted similar airstrikes in the past, targeting what they claim are Iranian-linked sites in Yemen.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing for years, with multiple factions vying for control. The Houthi rebels, who are aligned with Iran, control much of northern Yemen, including the capital Sanaa. Saudi Arabia and its allies support the Yemeni government in its fight against the Houthis.
The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen, which has led to a humanitarian crisis with millions of people facing food insecurity and lack of basic services.
