The Israeli occupation launched a series of intense raids on Wednesday targeting sites belonging to the Ansar Allah Houthi group in the capital Sana’a and the governorates of Al-Jawf and Amran.

The Yemeni Ministry of Health announced an initial toll of 35 martyrs and 131 injured.

In his first comment, Mahdi al-Mashat, head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, stated that “the attack has failed,” vowing that “retaliation is inevitable.”

This escalation comes a day after Hamas leaders were targeted in Doha.
