Sanaa (Quds News Network)- Fourteen Israeli warplanes bombed the Yemeni capital Sanaa late Sunday, firing around 40 missiles at multiple sites. The strikes hit government buildings, fuel depots, and power stations, triggering massive explosions across the city. Three raids were reported near Attan, southwest of Sanaa. Yemeni media said the assault targeted the presidential compound, fuel facilities, and civilian infrastructure. Israel’s Channel 14 confirmed that the presidential palace was a central target. Channel 13 claimed that the air force also struck a missile base near the compound. According to Yemeni media, the attack killed two civilians and injured five at a state oil company facility. Fires broke out in several neighborhoods, and civil defense crews worked to contain them. An Israeli army spokesman claimed that warplanes hit a military complex that included the presidential palace, energy plants, and a fuel depot. He claimed the Houthis used electricity stations in Hizz and Asar for military purposes. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israeli military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir oversaw the operation from the Defense Ministry in central Tel Aviv. Yemeni officials stated that Israel deliberately struck civilian sites. Mohammed al-Faraj, a political bureau member, said the raids targeted residential areas. “The enemy harms civilians in Yemen just as it does in Gaza,” he said. Another Houthi official told Al Jazeera that the presidential palace was empty and not in use. He warned that the movement will expand its military operations deeper inside Israel. Hizam al-Asad, a senior Houthi political council member, said the strikes aimed to stop Yemen from supporting Gaza. “These attacks will not silence us. We will keep aiding Gaza with all we have,” he added. The Houthis recently vowed to escalate attacks at sea, declaring that any ship linked to Israeli ports will be a target. The group says its operations are part of efforts to support Palestinians under Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 2023.
