Al Masirah reported multiple US strikes on Sanaa and Hodeida, along with additional strikes on Dhamar, located south of the capital
The United States-led strike on Friday targeted three rebel-controlled cities in Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and the port city of Hodeida, as per Houthi-run Al Masirah television network.
Al Masirah reported four strikes on Sanaa and seven on Hodeida, with at least one strike hitting Dhamar, south of the capital.
However, there was no immediate comment from the US to these claims, and Al Masirah did not provide details on any damage or casualties.
This strike also comes a day after Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels had claimed that the group have carried out a drone attack on Tel Aviv, although there has been no direct confirmation from Israeli authorities.
In a statement, the Houthis asserted they “carried out a military operation targeting a vital target in the Jaffa (Tel Aviv) area in occupied Palestine with a number of Jaffa drones.” They claimed the operation successfully reached its targets without interception by Israeli forces.
The Israeli military reported intercepting “a suspicious aerial target” over central Israel overnight, but did not provide further details.
The Huthis, who have controlled large areas of war-torn Yemen for a decade, are part of Iran’s “Axis of Resistance” against Israel and the United States.
Since last November, they have been attacking ships off Yemen’s coast in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, claiming these actions demonstrate solidarity with Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
