Israel air strikes yemen: Israel has strongly responded to the air strikes of Iran -backed Huti rebels by air strikes in Yemen’s capital Sana. On Sunday, the sound of loud blasts was heard in the residential areas of Sana, which shook the entire city. The Huti Media Office claimed that many places were targeted in these Israeli Strikes, including Hazyaz power plant and a gas station. However, Israel has not yet officially confirmed these attacks.
Sleeping from blasts, 2 killed, 5 injured
According to local media, at least two people have died in these attacks, while more than five people have been injured. The injured have been immediately admitted to the hospital for treatment. The residents of Sana said that the sound of the blasts was so loud that they could be heard in the entire city. Rashtrapati Bhavan and a closed military academy also exploded. A resident said that “the house was shaken and the windows were broken.”
Tension in the Red Sea: Huti’s ‘Trade War’
Tension in the Red Sea has increased considerably since the Israeli struggle with Palestinians. Huti rebels are continuously targeting Israel -related ships by drone and missile attacks to financially harm Israel. In the last two years, Huti has targeted more than 100 ships, causing heavy damage to global trade. The Red Sea is an important trade route, which passes around 1 trillion dollars every year. Huti has resolved to continue the attacks, calling this trade route ‘anti -Israel’.
Agreement between America and Huti, but ‘meaningless’
Last year, the United States signed an agreement with Huti, in which the US had asked Houti to stop attacks in the Red Sea in exchange for stopping airstrikes. However, Huti had made it clear that he would continue attacking Israeli locations. This shows that Huti rebels are adamant on their ideological opposition.
Who is Huki rebel?
The Huti rebel group, also known as Ansar Allah, is a Shia Zaidi movement operating in Yemen. His slogan has been “death to Israel.” Huti considers Israel to be the main supporters of the atrocities on Palestinians. They have significant support from Iran, and they consider themselves as part of “Aksha-Representatives” with organizations such as Iran, Iraqi Military, Hizbullah and Hamas. Huti has attacked Israel with hypersonic missiles and drones, targeting Israeli military bases and ports.
