In Sanaa, missiles struck a Military Media Directorate, as well as a medical facility on 60th Street. In al-Jawf, Israeli aircraft targeted the government complex in al-Hazm district, along with the local branch of the Central Bank. Employees were reported among the injured.

The Israeli military confirmed the strikes, describing them as attacks on “terrorist infrastructure” used by the Houthis, including training camps, command centers, fuel depots, and the Military Media Directorate, which it said broadcasts propaganda and coordinates operations. The army stated the operation was a response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks against Israel and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.

The Houthis denied Israeli claims that missile sites were targeted, insisting the raids struck civilian facilities. Ansarallah’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree vowed retaliation: “This aggression will not pass without response or punishment.”

President Mahdi al-Mashat of the Houthi-led Supreme Political Council called the strikes “a failed assault” and urged supporters to remain on high alert, promising a forceful counterattack.
The Yemeni Armed Forces said air defense units fired surface-to-air missiles during the raids, forcing some Israeli formations to withdraw and blunting “the bulk of the assault.”
العميد يحيى سريع:تمكنت دفاعاتنا الجوية من إطلاق عدد من الصواريخ أرض جو أثناء التصدي للعدوان الصهيوني على بلدنا وتم إجبار بعض التشكيلات القتالية على المغادرة قبل تنفيذ عدوانها وإفشال الجزء الأكبر من الهجوم بفضل الله.
