Israeli air strikes on Huthi-held Yemen killed nine people and wounded more than 100 on Wednesday, the Iran-backed rebels said, days after their prime minister and half the cabinet died in a major attack.<\/p>\n

The Huthi armed forces’ media operation in Sanaa, the rebel-held capital, was hit in the attacks, along with a Huthi complex in Jawf province, the group said.<\/p>\n

Israel has launched repeated attacks on Huthi targets during the Gaza war, as the Iran-backed rebels fire missiles and drones at Israel and Red Sea shipping, claiming solidarity with the Palestinian cause.<\/p>\n

Nine people died and 118 were wounded, Huthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi posted on X. “Civil defence, ambulances and rescue teams are still searching for the missing,” he added.<\/p>\n

The toll included seven dead and 100 wounded at the media building in Sanaa, and two dead and 20 wounded in Jawf, which borders Saudi Arabia, Alasbahi said.<\/p>\n

A large plume of grey smoke billowed above Sanaa as the strikes echoed across the city, which has been controlled by the Huthis for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

High-profile assassinations<\/p>\n

The Huthis’ prime minister Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser al-Rahawi, nine ministers and two cabinet officials were killed as they attended a government meeting in the Sanaa area last month.<\/p>\n

The killings were the most high-profile assassinations of Huthi officials during nearly two years of hostilities with Israel over the Gaza war. The latest air strikes come after a drone launched from Yemen struck Ramon airport in southern Israel on Sunday, wounding one person.<\/p>\n

Huthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said journalists working for the September 26 and al-Yaman newspapers were among those killed at the “Moral Guidance Headquarters” in Sanaa.<\/p>\n

The Israeli military also said it struck the armed forces’ media operations, among other facilities.<\/p>\n

The targets included “military camps in which operatives of the terrorist regime were identified, the Huthis’ military public relations headquarters and a fuel storage facility that was used by the terrorist regime”, an Israeli military statement said. The Huthis’ Al-Masirah television said the strikes in Jawf hit a Central Bank branch building in the city of Al-Hazm, wounding employees.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
