Israel Air Force strikes against the Houthis in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, hit a military compound where the presidential palace is located, two power stations and a fuel depot, the military says.

The strikes come as a response to the Houthis’ repeated missile and drone attacks on Israel.

According to the IDF, the Yemeni presidential palace in Sanaa is “located within a military site from which the military operations of the Houthi terrorist regime forces are conducted.”

The two power plants that were targeted “served as a significant electricity supply facility for military activities,” the military says.

The strikes involved around a dozen IAF aircraft, including fighter jets and refuelers. More than 30 munitions were dropped on the four targets, according to military sources.
