Israeli military bombs power plant near Yemeni capital Sanaa
The Israeli navy has carried out attacks on a power plant near the Yemeni capital Sanaa, according to Israeli media reports. Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reported on Saturday that the 'aggression' damaged generators at the Hezyaz power plant, sparking a fire that was later contained. The country's deputy prime minister confirmed emergency crews managed to prevent further damage. Residents in Sanaa also reported hearing at least two loud explosions. The Israeli military claimed that the site was being used by Houthi fighters. But it did not present evidence to justify hitting a civilian power station, raising concerns that the strike may constitute a war crime. In a statement carried by Israeli outlets on Sunday, the military said the assault was a direct response to repeated Houthi attacks, including missiles and drones launched towards Israel. The Houthis have repeatedly fired rockets and drones at Israel since 2023 in response to Israel's genocide in Gaza. Israel has retaliated by bombing Yemen's infrastructure, including Hodeidah port, a vital lifeline for humanitarian aid deliveries. Israel has also attacked Yemen's international airport, claiming it was being used by Houthis. Most Houthi projectiles aimed at Israel have been intercepted, but the exchanges have widened the regional fallout of Israel's war on Gaza. The United States and the United Kingdom have also carried out bombings in Yemen as the Houthis attacked ships linked to Israel passing through the Red Sea. Houthis said the move, which disrupted global trade passing through the waterway, was in response to Israel's war and blockade of Gaza. In May, Washington announced a surprise truce with the group, halting its bombing campaign in exchange for an end to Houthi attacks on US-linked vessels in the Red Sea. The Houthis insisted the deal did not apply to their operations against Israel. US forces had carried out hundreds of air raids in Yemen, killing more than 250 people, before the ceasefire was declared. US President Donald Trump said the truce would 'stop the bombing'. The deal appeared to blindside Israel, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressing his country would 'defend ourselves alone' if necessary.
