'Israel' targets Houthi leaders meeting in Sanaa amid intensified air raids
In an unprecedented military escalation, 'Israeli' forces launched large-scale airstrikes across Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, on Thursday evening, directly targeting a meeting attended by senior Houthi leaders. 'Israeli' media described the assassination operation as “exceptional.”
The strikes shook the city with a series of powerful explosions. Multiple 'Israeli' sources reported that the operation, planned earlier this week, aimed to eliminate top Houthi figures during their meeting, with participation from the 'Israeli' navy.

Targeting a Secret Houthi Leadership Meeting
New details indicate that the strikes were aimed at a secret gathering of Houthi leaders. Intelligence reportedly tracked the meeting and relayed precise coordinates to the air force, which carried out concentrated and highly accurate attacks. Sources noted that the operation was planned earlier in the week as part of a broader wave of strikes to ensure its success.
Eyewitnesses and reporters in Sanaa reported at least 10 consecutive explosions, with strategic locations such as Jabal Atan, west of the city, among the targets. Columns of smoke rose from multiple sites as the strikes, described as the most intense and precise of their kind, unfolded.
Pre-Planned Operation with Naval Involvement
Multiple Hebrew media outlets, including the 'Israeli' Broadcasting Corporation and Channel 14, confirmed that the attacks targeted “senior leaders” and “high-ranking figures” within the Houthi movement. They also noted the involvement of the 'Israeli' navy, reflecting the operation’s complex planning and wide scope, executed thousands of kilometers from 'Israel'.
As of now, no official statement has been released by either the 'Israeli' military or the Houthis confirming the operation’s success or revealing the identities or fates of the targeted leaders.
