At least eight people were killed and dozens injured in a new wave of Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Thursday, the Houthi-run Health Ministry reported.
Authorities said 142 people were wounded in attacks that struck multiple areas of the city.
According to the Houthi-run Al-Masirah television, the strikes targeted the Dhahban power station and residential neighbourhoods. Israeli jets also hit al-Nahdin and Haddah in al-Sabeen district, as well as al-Raqas Street in Maeen district.
Homes were reportedly damaged and residents injured in the al-Madrasa neighbourhood of Old Sanaa. The airstrikes occurred while Houthi leader Abdul-Malik Badr al-Houthi was delivering a recorded speech broadcast on Al-Masirah.
The Israeli army confirmed that dozens of warplanes carried out airstrikes on what it described as military installations belonging to the Houthi security and intelligence apparatus in Sanaa.
The attacks follow a drone strike from Yemen on Wednesday that injured at least 50 people at a tourism centre in southern Israel’s Eilat.
Last week, Israeli warplanes targeted Houthi positions in the coastal city of Al Hudaydah. In a strike in Sanaa last month, 12 senior Houthi officials, including Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi, and nine other ministers were killed.
