The strikes were conducted in response to “repeated attacks” by Houthi fighters against the Jewish state, “including the launching of surface-to-surface missiles and UAVs toward Israeli territory,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.
The developments come as Reuters cited local residents as saying that explosions were heard in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa near a power plant.
There were at least two explosions near the plant, the agency said, adding that the causes of the blasts are still unclear.
