Israeli forces struck the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Thursday, Houthi-run Al Masirah TV and residents said, a day after the group claimed a drone attack on a hotel in Israel’s Red Sea resort of Eilat.
The strikes are the latest in more than a year of attacks and counterstrikes between Houthi militants in Yemen and Israel, part of a spillover from the war in Gaza.
Yemeni residents told Reuters that the strikes were directed at areas in the south and west of Sanaa.
Al Masirah TV did not give further details on the attack. There was no immediate comment from Israel.
The strikes took place while a pre-recorded speech by Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi was airing.
