The military founded the recent air strikes with rocket and drone attacks, which the Huthi-Miliz had recently started against Israel. In the most recent rocket attack on Friday evening, the militia allied with the Iran probably used string ammunition for the first time, the Israeli military said on Sunday. Israeli air defense had intercepted the projectiles. Also almost all previous rocket and drone attacks from Yemen had fended off Israel.

Eyewitnesses in Sanaa reported violent explosions. Some of the energy devices that are made, such as one of the e-works and the fuel warehouse, describe them as plants with a civilian function.

In return, Israel attacks destinations in Yemen, which claims to see it in a connection with Huthi’s military activities.
