The Houthis pledged to intensify missile attacks on Israel in solidarity with Palestinians despite Israel’s airstrikes on Yemen. The strikes targeted Yemen’s Sanaa airport, ports, and power stations, killing at least 4 and injuring UN personnel. Houthi leader Mohammed al-Bukhaiti accused Israel of “genocide in Gaza” and vowed continued military operations. Israel claimed the attacks were retaliation for Houthi missile launches, asserting it targeted "military infrastructure." The UN expressed grave concerns over escalating violence and its impact on humanitarian efforts. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of continued actions against the "Houthi terrorist organisation."
