Iran-backed rebels says number of wounded has climbed to 102 and includes 7 children and 3 women after IDF said Houthis fired cluster bomb at Israel for first time

Israeli airstrikes have hit Yemen’s capital, just days after the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels fired what the Israeli military described as the first cluster bomb launched by the rebels since 2023.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking from the Air Force command centre in Tel Aviv, vowed to intensify operations against the Iran-backed Houthis, who have been launching missiles and drones toward Israel and attacking ships in the Red Sea for nearly two years.
