ALBAWABA- The United States has reportedly intensified its air campaign across Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. 

According to local sources, four U.S. airstrikes struck Houthi positions in the Rajam Bani Hashish area, northeast of the capital Sana'a. 

Additional strikes hit Al-Sabeen in the Al-Nahdain district of central Sana'a using heavy munitions. The U.S. also allegedly targeted Houthi warehouses and tunnel networks in the Al-Jamaymah military camp, east of the city, with concussion bombs.

U.S. attacks have expanded across multiple provinces under Houthi control, including Ibb, Dhamar, Marib, Sana'a, Sa’dah, Hodeidah, Hajjah, and Taiz. 

Yesterday, a U.S. strike on a residential neighborhood in Hodeidah reportedly killed 10 civilians and injured others, according to Houthi-affiliated media.

In response, Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree announced today that the group launched a Jaffa drone targeting an Israeli military facility in Tel Aviv. 

He also claimed that Houthi forces attacked several military vessels in the northern Red Sea, including the U.S. aircraft carrier Harry Truman.

The Houthis say these actions are in retaliation for the continued U.S. airstrikes across Yemen, which have escalated since mid-March.
