ISRAELI airstrikes rocked the Yemeni capital, Sanaa on Thursday, hitting the seat of the Houthi rebel group's rule in Yemen, the Houthis and the Israeli military said. The strikes hit the densely-populated southern and western areas of Sanaa. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
"It's like an earthquake," said Hussein Salem, a Sanaa resident. He saw plumes of smoke over his neighborhood in the western side of Sanaa.
The strikes occurred as the Iranian-backed Houthis' satellite news channel was broadcasting a pre-recorded speech for the rebels' top leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
