Israel has carried out air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, in response to the group's missile attack on Friday which the Israel military said carried cluster munitions. The Israeli operation targeted a military complex housing the presidential palace, a fuel depot and power stations.

Israel and Iran-backed Houthi rebels have exchanged fire several times since the war in Gaza erupted after October 7, 2023.

Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s capital just days after Houthi rebels fired a missile toward Israel that its military described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had fired at the country since 2023.
