Israel Bombs Yemen’s Capital, Killing 8 and Wounding 142

HeadlineSep 26, 2025

Israeli strikes bombarded Yemen’s capital Sana’a on Thursday, killing at least eight people and wounding 142. Israel has repeatedly targeted residential areas.

Sana’a resident: “They have targeted a residential neighborhood that is known to all people: al-Raqqas neighborhood. They only frighten women and children. They only make us stronger and more steadfast. And we say to Netanyahu, we swear to tear out his eye.”

The attack comes a day after the Houthis claimed responsibility for a drone attack on Eilat in southern Israel, injuring 22 people. Earlier this month, Israeli strikes on Sana’a and the province of al-Jawf killed more than 40 people — and was the largest single attack on journalists the world has seen in 16 years.
