00:00Israel Defense Forces, IDF has confirmed that the Middle East country soldiers carried out
00:05massive airstrikes on multiple locations in Yemen capital of Sana'a on Sunday, while Nasr
00:11Adama, the chairman of Yemen's Sabah News Agency and the vice president of the media
00:16authority of Ansar Allah movement that has Houthis group as one of its organizations
00:22said the air defenses were able to thwart the majority of the Israeli attacks and confronted
00:27several of its combat formations, which he said forced Israeli soldiers to retreat, with the
00:32Houthis fighters using locally manufactured air defense systems. According to Shreel Defense Force,
00:39multiple military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in Sana'a, Yemen, including a
00:45military site in which the presidency palace is located, the Adar and Hazar's power plants, and a
00:51site for storing fuel, all used for the military activity of the Houthi regime. These strikes were
00:57carried out in response to repeated Houthi attacks on Israel with missiles and UAVs. The Houthis,
01:04backed by Iran, continue to exploit civilian infrastructure for terror purposes. News agencies
01:10reported that Israel launched the airstrikes in Yemen's capital Sana'a, hitting areas near the
01:16presidential complex and missile bases with additional strikes reported in Hodeidah. It was
01:22gathered that Israel carried out the strikes in response to days of attempted Houthi drone and
01:27ballistic missile attack against Israel. Local media reported with a photograph showing the Israel
01:33Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister, Katz, and IDF Chief, El Zamir at the Israeli Air Force
01:42command center in Tel Aviv, observing today's strikes on Yemen capital on a military facility
01:48near the presidential palace, a fuel depot, and two power stations. Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen's
01:55capital on Sunday, just days after the Houthi rebels fired a missile toward Israel that its military
02:01described as the first cluster bomb the rebels had fired at it since 2023. The rebels' al-Masirah
02:08satellite television reported a strike on an oil company, and video on social media showed a fireball
02:15erupting there. Nasr al-Naymar, deputy head of Ansar al-As, Houthis, media authority and chairman of
02:22Yemen's Sabah news agency, said Yemeni air defenses intercepted most of the Israeli air raids, forcing
02:29several formations to withdraw. He stressed that Yemen's military operations in support of Gaza will
02:35continue until the aggression ends and the blockade is lifted. Amir dismissed Israel's targeting of a
02:41civilian fuel station in Sana'a as an act of barbarism and bankruptcy, with no impact on military
02:47capabilities, warning it will only trigger further escalation. In quotes, he said, targeting a civilian
02:55fuel station on a main street will have no impact on military operations. Thanks to God, the air defenses
03:02were able to thwart the majority of the Zionist aggression and confront several of its combat
03:07formations, forcing them to retreat, using locally manufactured air defense systems. Our military
03:14operations in support of Gaza will not cease, God willing, except with the cessation of the aggression
03:20and the lifting of the siege on it. Targeting a civilian fuel station on a main street will certainly
03:26have no impact on the military operations. Rather, it reveals the brutality and bankruptcy of the
03:32Israeli enemy and will bring upon itself further escalation. The Yemeni people will not back down
03:38from their faithful and humanitarian stance in support of Gaza. Assam Yahya al-Mutawakal, the official
03:46spokesperson for the Yemeni oil company, in a video reposted by Houthi deputy media spokesperson,
03:52Nasruddin Amar wal-Assam was seen in front of what he said to be the affected oil company model
03:58station on 60th street, saying, the targeted station after extinguishing the fire in it,
04:06the fuel consumed by the enemy's aircraft to reach Yemen and target the fuel station is more than the
04:11amount of fuel that was inside the tanks of the targeted station. It would be recalled that the Houthi
04:17attacks over the last two years since Israel began a retaliatory war in Gaza after Hamas attacked more
04:23than a thousand people in southern Israel on October 7, 2023 have affected largely shipping in the Red Sea,
04:30through which about $1 trillion of goods passes each year. Between November 2023 to December 2024,
04:39the Houthis targeted more than 100 ships with missiles and drones.
04:42The rebels stopped their attacks during a brief ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and later became the
04:48target of a weeks-long airstrike campaign ordered by President Donald Trump of the United States.
04:55In May, the United States announced a deal with the Houthis to end the airstrikes in return for an
05:00end to shipping attacks, although the rebel group said the agreement did not include halting attacks
05:06on targets it believed were aligned with Israel. Also this year May, Israeli airstrikes hit the
05:12Sanaa airport in a rare daytime attack that destroyed the terminal and left craters in its runway.
05:18At least six passenger planes were hit, including three belonging to Yemenia Airways, according to airport authorities.
