Israel targets Houthi military sites in Yemen
Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen's capital on Sunday.
 
The strikes in Sanaa come just days after the Iranian-backed Houthis fired a missile toward Israel.
 
The Houthi rebels said multiple areas across Sanaa were struck. The Houthi-run health ministry said that at least two people were killed and 35 others injured.
 
Nasruddin Amer, deputy head of the Houthi media office, said the latest strikes won't deter the rebels.
 
"Our military operations supporting Gaza won't stop, God willing, unless the aggression is stopped, and the siege is lifted," he wrote on social media.
 
The Houthis say they are attacking in solidarity with Palestinians amid the war in Gaza. The Israeli airstrike in Sanaa comes after the Houthis launched a missile at Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport near Tel Aviv on Friday. 
 
The Iran-aligned Houthis are considered a terrorist group by Israel, the US, the UAE and several other countries.
