The United States conducted multiple airstrikes overnight from Saturday to Sunday, targeting weapon storage facilities belonging to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Pentagon announced.
These facilities housed advanced weaponry used by the Iranian-backed Houthis to attack civilian and military vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to a senior U.S. official.
The Houthi-controlled Al-Massira TV reported three strikes in different districts of Sana’a, the Yemeni capital.
The Houthis, who control vast areas of Yemen, have been conducting attacks for months against Israel and ships they allege are connected to the state. They claim their actions are in solidarity with Hamas, which has been engaged in conflict with Israel in Gaza for over a year.
These attacks underscore the growing threats posed by the Houthis’ arsenal of sophisticated weaponry, which includes missiles and drones capable of reaching critical maritime and strategic targets.
In response to the increasing Houthi aggression, the United States and the United Kingdom have launched regular airstrikes targeting the group's infrastructure. Despite these efforts, the Houthis’ operational capacity has not yet been fully neutralized.
In mid-October, the U.S. deployed B-2 stealth bombers for the first time against Houthi positions, marking a significant escalation in military operations.
Iranian aerial attacks since Wednesday have caused extensive damage to the world's largest gas plant in Qatar, targeted a refinery in Saudi Arabia, forced the UAE to shut gas facilities and set off fires at two Kuwaiti refineries.
Iran's huge Pars gas field was hit on Wednesday in a major escalation in the U.S.-Israeli war that sent oil prices shooting higher, and Tehran struck Qatar and fired missiles at Saudi Arabia after vowing attacks on oil and gas targets throughout the Gulf.
The Israeli military announced Wednesday the elimination of Hassan Ali Marwan, commander of Hezbollah's Imam Hussein Brigade, killed in an overnight airstrike in the Beirut area, just one week after his predecessor was eliminated in the same role.
