The new strikes on Sanaa followed after the Houthis claimed responsibility for a strike using a hypersonic ballistic missile on a military target in Tel Aviv.
"US and Israeli fighter jets carried out two strikes on Mount Attan, where the headquarters of the Ansar Allah missile brigades is located in the southwestern part of Sanaa. Another airstrike was carried out on the Al-Haf military camp on Mount Nuqum, which overlooks Sanaa from the eastern side," the source said.
There is intense aerial activity in the sky over Sanaa, the source added.
