Israel struck Yemen’s Houtis on Sunday after Iran-backed rebels launched a new type of missile in Israel.
Israeli forces said it struck the military location where the Presidential Palace is located, two power plants and a fuel storage site.
The Israeli Secretary of Defense (IDF) said: “The strike was carried out in response to repeated attacks by the Hooty terrorist regime on Israel and its civilians.”
Israeli Air Force officials said more than 10 fighters took part in the strike.
A television station affiliated with the Housys, which controls the city, said “Zionist aggression is on the rise in the capital Sanaa.”
Houthi leader Mohammad al-Farrah said Houthis will continue to support the people of Gaza and “will not retreat until the attacks are lifted, the siege is broken and the starvation of the people of Gaza stops.”
The strike follows the launch of the Houthis missile against Israel on Friday.
For the first time, Israeli Air Force officials said the Houthi missile contained many sub-commands, which was intended to explode on impact.
Police in the Tel Aviv area said Friday that it was several sites where interceptors had landed. No injuries have been reported.
