After the attack, the Houthis launched strikes on Sana

• Israel launched strikes on military targets in Sana.
• The Houthis initiated cluster rockets in big Israel.
• Attacks were a response to threats from the Houthis and support for the Palestinians.

Israeli airstrikes on the capital, Yemen, took place on Sunday, August 24, 2025, in response to recent shelling from the Houthis, who are supported by Iran. According to local reports from ZMI, the strikes resulted in the deaths of at least two people and the injury of five others.

These attacks are part of a prolonged conflict between Israel and the Houthis that has lasted over a year. The Israeli military stated that the targets of the strikes were military objects, including the presidential palace, two electrical plants, and a sugar warehouse.

The Houthis launched several rockets and drones into big Israel, asserting that their actions are in support of the Palestinians during the conflict in Gaza. Israeli military confirmed that one of the rockets launched by the Houthis on Friday was a cluster munition, which causes its own devastation.

This incident was the first case of the use of cluster munitions by the Houthis against Israel since the beginning of their attacks in 2023, indicating the provision of new technologies to the Houthis from Iran.
