Yemen’s Houthis vow retaliation after Israeli attacks on Sanaa

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have pledged to respond to the latest Israeli strikes that targeted parts of the capital Sanaa and the main international airport, saying the attacks “will not go unanswered”. “Targeting Yemeni ports, Sanaa airport, cement factories, and power plants aims to impose a blockade on the Yemeni people,” the statement said. The Houthis added that Israeli and US attacks on Yemen “will not deter Yemen from continuing its support for Gaza”. Reporting from Sanaa, Al Jazeera’s Mohammed al-Attab said the impact of the attacks on infrastructure remains unclear. The Israeli military said the strikes sought to undercut the Houthi military industry, claiming the factory is an “economic resource” for the Houthis and “used to build tunnels and military infrastructure”.
