Israel expands its attacks on Sanaa: 10 dead and strikes targeting oil and electricity facilities Sanaa - By Harb Tension has escalated in Yemen as Israeli aircraft carried out concentrated airstrikes on the capital, Sanaa, targeting civilian facilities, including the city's airport and a number of oil and electricity installations. The Houthi authorities announced the death of 10 people and the injury of dozens, while Tel Aviv confirmed that the operation was in response to the launch of a "cluster-headed" missile towards Israeli territory. The latest attack reinforces the transition of the war from a limited military scope to a direct targeting of economic and service infrastructure, in a dangerous shift that may exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and bring Yemen into a wider circle of regional escalation. Strategic overview The expansion of Israeli strikes suggests that Yemen has become an open regional confrontation arena, where the aim is to militarily restrict the Houthis by striking economic weaknesses. This path weakens the chances of any political settlement and doubles international pressure on the humanitarian file, while it may push regional parties to re-evaluate their positions towards the Yemeni crisis.
