Sana'a/Jerusalem, September 25 (Xinhua) — Israel launched a series of airstrikes on Thursday against Yemen's capital, Sana'a, which is controlled by the Houthi rebel movement, the Houthi-controlled Al-Masirah television channel reported.

The rebels have not yet provided details about the target of the attack or the number of casualties, but Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the strikes hit Houthi-linked targets and killed "dozens."

According to eyewitnesses, thick black smoke rose above the city, accompanied by the roar of overflying fighter jets. Many residents rushed to open their windows, fearing the blast wave would shatter them.

According to local sources, Sana'a has virtually no air defense systems to intercept Israeli warplanes and no underground shelters for residents seeking safety.

The Israeli strikes came a day after a Houthi drone attack on a tourist area in the southern Israeli port city of Eilat left at least 20 people wounded.
