Several raids targeted the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense in the Al-Uradi region, a Yemeni source reported.
Sounds of explosions were heard in Sanaa following the American-British raids, the same source said.
This attack comes as Yemen continues its support for Gaza and the Palestinian people, carrying out operations against ships in the Red and Arabian Seas heading towards Israeli occupation ports, and targeting Israeli targets in the depths of occupied Palestine.
On Monday, the Yemeni armed forces announced that the missile unit fired a Palestine 2 type hypersonic ballistic missile against an Israeli military target in the occupied Yaffa region (Tel Aviv).
And to specify that “this operation constitutes a response to the ongoing Israeli massacres against Gaza and support for its resistance”.
Recall that the leader of the Yemeni resistance movement Ansarullah, Sayed Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, stressed that Sanaa is ready to “fight the USA and Israel, and is also ready to fight any party wanting to strike Yemen in the service of the USA and of the Zionist entity.
“Following warning sirens activated in central Israel, a missile launched from Yemen was intercepted before entering Israeli territory. The warning sirens concerning missile and rocket fire were triggered out of fear of falling debris following the interception,” said an army press release.
Yemen’s Houthis, an Iranian-backed rebel group, later claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they had “carried out a military operation targeting a military objective of the Israeli enemy in the occupied area of Yaffa,” a neighborhood in Tel Aviv. , affirming that “the operation had successfully achieved its objectives”.
The Houthis have already launched several attacks against Israel, claiming to act in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, where a war has pitted Israel against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas since October 7, 2023.
Last July, a drone attack on Tel Aviv carried out by Houthi rebels killed an Israeli civilian, provoking Israeli retaliatory strikes against the Yemeni port of Hodeida.
The insurgents, who control large parts of Yemen, also regularly attack ships linked according to them to Israel, the United States or the United Kingdom in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden, despite strikes carried out by the American army, sometimes with the help of the British army.
On Monday, American strikes were also carried out against a Houthi base used to coordinate attacks by Yemeni rebels, in particular against American merchant ships and military vessels, announced the American Central Command for the Middle East in a press release.
