Pentagon Says It Targeted Houthis in U.S. Airstrikes That Followed Israeli Attacks on Yemen

HeadlineJan 02, 2025

The Pentagon says it launched a wave of airstrikes on Sana’a and other parts of Yemen on Tuesday. U.S. Central Command says it targeted Houthi command and weapons production facilities. The attacks came just after Israel bombed the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah and the main airport in Sana’a, killing at least six people. A Houthi spokesperson said Wednesday the movement would continue attacks aimed at ending Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Yahya Sarea: “The Yemeni armed forces affirm their continued operations in support of Gaza, and these operations will not stop until the aggression on Gaza is stopped and the siege is lifted.”
