Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels blame the US for around 10 strikes in and around the capital Sanaa overnight.
The Houthi-run Saba news agency says the strikes included two targeting Arbaeen Street in the capital as well as one on the airport road, blaming them on “American aggression.”
The rebels’ health ministry says 14 people were wounded in the Sawan neighborhood, according to Saba.
The strikes came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate against the Houthis and to act against “their patron” Iran, hours after the rebel group struck Ben Gurion Airport with a ballistic missile.
