The Israeli occupation military said it had targeted an “energy infrastructure site that was used by the Houthis,” referring to Yemen revolutionaries.
The occupation army said in a statement that the strikes were “in response to repeated attacks by the Houthis against Israel,” referring to pro-Gaza strikes staged by the Yemeni revolutionaries.
Hizam Al-Assad, a member of Ansarullah’s Political Bureau, wrote on X that the “criminal and bankrupt enemy is only targeting service facilities and civilian structures such as electricity and water.”

The Yemeni revolutionaries have intensified missile and drone strikes on the Zionist entity since Israeli forces resumed attacks on the Gaza Strip in March after two months of a shaky ceasefire.
Since November 2023, the group has also targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea in support of Palestinians in Gaza, where more than 61,800 people have been martyred in a brutal Israeli onslaught.
