Israeli airstrikes hit the Houthi-controlled capital of Sanaa and the port city of Hodeida in Yemen on Thursday. The World Health Organization's director-general reported that the strikes took place as he prepared to board a flight in Sanaa,

Israel struck multiple targets in Yemen it said were controlled by Houthis, the last of the Iran-backed groups still fully engaged in the regional war that began 14 months ago.

The conflict between Israel and the Iran-backed group has widened significantly in the week since a Houthi missile struck Tel Aviv.
