The Israeli army conducted airstrikes on Houthi targets in western Yemen in response to a fatal drone attack by the rebel group in Tel Aviv, marking the first Israeli strikes on Yemeni soil in the ongoing conflict. The strikes killed three and injured at least 87 people, according to a spokesperson for the Houthis’ Ministry of Health. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the strikes as a direct response to the attack on Israel and accused Iran of supplying deadly weapons to the Houthis through Yemen. Houthi officials condemned the airstrikes as Israeli aggression targeting fuel storage facilities and power stations, while Hamas denounced them as a massacre and escalation. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the drone strike in Tel Aviv that killed at least one person and injured several others. The attack resulted in a civilian death and multiple injuries, with a significant amount of smoke and flames visible in the area. The situation remains tense as both sides escalate their actions, with the Houthis vowing to continue supporting Gaza despite the Israeli strikes.
