Houthis accuse US of carrying out new round of strikes in and around Sanaa

Yemen’s Houthis accuse the United States of carrying out fresh strikes in and around Sanaa, after the Iran-backed rebels claimed a missile strike on Israel’s main airport yesterday.

The Houthi-run Saba news agency says the strikes included two on Arbaeen Street in the capital and the airport road, blaming them on “American aggression.”

Sixteen people were wounded, Saba cites the Iran-backed rebels’ health ministry as saying. The rebels’ Al-Masirah TV later reported another three strikes in Sanaa and seven in the northern governorate of Al-Jawf.

The accusations come after a missile fired from Yemen on Sunday struck inside the perimeter of Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv for the first time.
