Yemen’s Houthi-controlled military responded decisively to Israeli airstrikes on Sana’a, killing at least 8 and injuring 142. Using hypersonic “Palestine-2” ballistic missiles, Yemeni forces targeted sensitive sites in the Israeli-occupied Jaffa region. The operation, launched in response to ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza, signals Yemen’s commitment to defending Gaza and its own territory. Authorities warned that civilian and military vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas must identify themselves, or risk becoming targets as Yemen continues its military campaigns.

Yemen’s air defense system has successfully intercepted multiple Israeli air raids over the capital, Sana’a, preventing significant damage and civilian casualties. Local sources report that Israel used 20 fighter jets and naval missiles, targeting power plants and residential areas. The Yemeni defense forces forced enemy aircraft to retreat before completing bombing missions. Hospitals confirm at least eight civilian deaths and 48 injuries, while eyewitnesses describe widespread panic and property damage. Israel admits Yemen’s resistance has proven difficult to overcome.

Israel launched massive airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, killing at least eight people and injuring 142 others. According to the Israeli military, dozens of warplanes took part, targeting Houthi command centers and other sites.
Houthi officials, however, claimed that residential areas were hit, destroying multiple buildings. Rescue operations are underway amid the rubble.
The strikes followed a drone attack by the Houthis on Israel’s Eilat city on Wednesday, which left several Israelis injured.

Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s capital Sana’a and Al-Jawf province have left at least 35 people dead and 131 injured, according to Yemen’s health ministry. Officials fear the death toll could rise as many remain trapped under rubble.

The strikes damaged residential buildings in Sana’a’s Al-Tahrir area, a medical center, and a government compound in Al-Hazm. Rescue workers are battling flames and attempting to pull survivors from the debris.

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said surface-to-air missiles were used to repel the attacks, forcing several Israeli aircraft to retreat before deploying their weapons. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the strikes were retaliation for Houthi drone attacks on Ramon Airport.

A Yemeni drone strike targeted Ramon Airport in Israel’s southern city of Eilat, according to reports citing Israeli media. The drone hit the airport’s passenger terminal, leading to the suspension of all flights and causing panic among Israelis. Social media images showed smoke rising from the site, while some Israeli sources reported at least two injuries. Fire service teams were deployed to the scene. Yemeni authorities have not yet issued any statement regarding the attack.

Technology giant Microsoft has reported internet disruptions following multiple submarine cable cuts in the Red Sea affecting the Middle East and South Asia. Azure cloud services experienced slowdowns, though general internet traffic remained mostly unaffected. NetBlocks confirmed connectivity issues in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, UAE, and India, causing reduced speeds and occasional disconnections. Pakistan Telecommunications warned users of potential peak-hour slowdowns while international partners work on solutions. The incident began on September 6 at 5:45 AM GMT.

Yemeni forces have carried out a ballistic missile attack on an Israeli-owned oil tanker in the northern Red Sea. The attack, announced on September 1, is said to be in support of Palestinians in Gaza and in response to Israel’s blockade and actions against them. Yemen’s armed forces confirmed the tanker was directly targeted and emphasized that such operations will continue until the blockade on Gaza is lifted. Earlier, a British maritime security firm reported an explosion on an Israeli-owned tanker near Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu port.

Yemen has appointed Mohammad Meftah as acting prime minister following the death of Prime Minister Ahmed Galeb Al-Rahawi in a recent Israeli airstrike in Sanaa. The Supreme Political Council issued a decree naming Meftah, the first deputy prime minister, as caretaker leader. The attack also killed several ministers while they attended a workshop. The Houthis confirmed the deaths but did not disclose all names. The presidency announced the strike on Thursday, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.

Yemen’s Chief of General Staff, Major General Mohammed Abdulkarim al-Ghamari, announced an escalation of attacks on Israel in response to alleged assassination attempts by Israeli forces. He warned that Tel Aviv would eventually be forced to halt its offensive in Gaza. The statement followed Israeli claims that airstrikes in Sanaa may have killed senior Yemeni officials. Al-Ghamari condemned the strikes as targeting civilians and vowed Yemen would not retreat from supporting Gaza, despite casualties or leadership losses.

Iran-backed Houthi Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Rahawi has been killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting an apartment in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, according to Al-Jumhuriya Television on Saturday.

Local outlet Aden Al-Ghad reported that several of Rahawi’s aides also died in the strike, which was separate from a wider offensive targeting nearly 10 senior Houthi ministers, including the defense minister. The officials were reportedly scheduled to hear an address from Houthi leader Abdul Malik Al-Houthi at the time of the attack.

Arab media reported nearly 10 airstrikes in Sanaa, including one on the presidential palace that killed several Houthi leaders. The Israeli military confirmed strikes on multiple political and military sites tied to the Houthis, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu monitored the operation via secure communication channels.

Earlier, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz had warned, “After darkness comes the blow upon the firstborn. Anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have it cut off.”

At least two people were killed and five others injured in Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Sunday.

The Israeli military said the strikes targeted a military base near the presidential palace, two power stations, and a fuel storage facility, in retaliation for Houthi missile launches.

Houthis had earlier claimed to have fired a ballistic missile toward Israel as a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Israeli officials said the projectile may have carried multiple sub-munitions designed to explode midair.

This marks the first reported launch of such a missile from Yemen. The Houthis vowed to continue attacks “in solidarity with Gaza.”

Yemen’s armed forces claim to have carried out a “special operation” targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport with a ‘Palestine-2’ hypersonic ballistic missile.

The strike forced the suspension of all flights and sent millions of Israelis rushing to shelters in panic.

Military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the attack was “a response to the genocide and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as aggression against Yemen.” He condemned the wider Muslim world for failing to act against Israeli atrocities:
“For two years, Gaza has been bleeding, yet the Islamic world has taken no effective measures. Our operations will continue until the war ends and the blockade of Gaza is lifted.”

Yemen’s Houthi fighters have launched drone strikes targeting Israeli military sites. Military spokesperson Yahya Saree confirmed that three drones were deployed toward major Israeli cities—Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and Haifa.

Soon after the announcement, air raid sirens were reported near Netzarim, close to Gaza, and along the Egyptian border. Israel claimed to have intercepted one drone, but has not provided details on the remaining two. This strike marks a significant escalation and presents a new strategic threat to Israel.

At least 54 refugees and migrants have died in a boat capsizing off the coast of Yemen. Many others remain missing. Abdul Qader Bajamil, director of Zanzibar’s Health Department, confirmed that bodies were recovered from the beach and surrounding areas, while 12 survivors were rescued and taken to Shakra Hospital.

The boat was carrying around 150 passengers, mostly from Ethiopia. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has described this route as one of the busiest and most dangerous migration paths in the world.

Yahya Saree, spokesperson for Yemen’s armed forces, announced a missile strike targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport using a Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missile. The strike reportedly caused panic, sending over four million people into shelters and suspending all air traffic at the airport. Saree stated that this action was in solidarity with Gaza and warned that operations would continue until the blockade is lifted and aggression ceases. He also noted that the Yemeni government is closely monitoring Zionist attempts to suppress support for Gaza from within Yemen.
