Israel hits Yemen’s Houthis after reports group used cluster bomb

Israel carried out air strikes against the Houthi targets in the capital of Yemen, SANA, in response to the group’s missile attack on Friday, which Israel said was a cluster ammunition.

The Israeli operation targeted a military complex that includes the presidential palace, the fuel warehouse and the power stations.

Houthi officials said four people were killed and 67 injuries.

The Israeli army said that the Houthi strike was the first use of such bombs by Iran -backed Houthis during the current conflict with Israel, local media and AP.

It is said that the Israeli army is investigating the reason for its inability to intercept the missile that carries munitions, which are banned by more than 100 countries.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supervised the retaliatory operation on SANA, with the Israeli government published a picture showing the Prime Minister at the Leadership Center in Tel Aviv.

“Anyone attacks us – we attack them. Anyone who plans to attack us – we attack them. I think the entire region is learning the strength and design of the State of Israel.”

After Friday’s attack, the Houthis released a video showing the bombs that dispersed in the air.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) told the media on Sunday that one of these channels had landed on a home yard in the central Israeli city of Jeninon, causing mild damage.

The investigation into the Israeli Defense Army focuses on the reason for the failure of the missile that is offering bombs before it is separated, according to the Israeli media.

Staph munitions are a way to disperse large numbers of small bombs from a missile, missile, or artillery shell that they send in the middle of the flight over a large area.

It aims to explode to influence but a large percentage is “Duds”, which means that it does not explode at first. This happens, especially if they land on wet or soft land.

They can then explode later when they are captured, blogged, or killed or killed the victim.

The Houthis took control of many northwestern Yemen since 2014, when they toppled the internationally recognized government from SANA, and sparked a devastating civil war.

Since the beginning of the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza in October 2023, the Houthis regularly fired missiles in Israel and attacked the commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, saying they were acting in solidarity with the Palestinians.

The rebels are provided by Iran, which also used cluster bombs during its 12 -day confrontation with Israel in June.
