Houthis deny that Israeli strike hit leadership meeting

Yemen's Houthis have denied Israeli media claims that an airstrike in the capital Sanaa targeted a meeting of senior officials. A Houthi defence source stated the reports were false, claiming that Israel was targeting civilian objects due to Houthi support for Gaza. Following the denial, a senior Houthi political leader issued a direct warning to Israel, promising retaliation. An Israeli airstrike was confirmed to have landed in an area near the presidential complex in Sana'a.
