DEVELOPING STORY, <\/span><\/p>\n

Houthi official says Israeli attacks will not stop group from continuing support for Gaza, \u2018no matter the sacrifices\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Israeli military has bombed the Yemeni capital Sanaa, Israeli and Yemeni officials say, as tensions in the region continue to escalate amid Israel\u2019s war on Gaza<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV said the attack on Sunday targeted an oil facility and a power plant in Sanaa. Israel said it also targeted a presidential palace in the Yemeni capital, which it claimed is located on a \u201cmilitary complex\u201d.<\/p>\n

At least two people were killed and 35 others were injured in the attacks, according to Al Masirah.<\/p>\n

The Israeli strikes came two days after the Houthis<\/a> claimed a missile launch against Israel \u2013 part of a campaign that the Yemeni group says aims to pressure Israel to end its atrocities and siege in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe attacks were carried out in response to repeated attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the state of Israel and its citizens, including the launch of surface-to-surface missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles towards the country\u2019s territory,\u201d the Israeli military said.<\/p>\n

Al Masirah cited a Houthi military official as saying that the group\u2019s air defences were able to \u201cneutralise most of the Israeli enemy aircraft participating in the aggression and forced them to leave\u201d.<\/p>\n

Footage verified by Al Jazeera showed plumes of fire and smoke rising above Sanaa after the Israeli strikes.<\/p>\n

The Houthis were quick to reiterate on Sunday that the Israeli attacks will not deter the group\u2019s military operations in support of Palestinians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Israeli aggression against Yemen will not discourage us from continuing our support for Gaza, no matter the sacrifices,\u201d Houthi official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue is settled for us: either eternity in heaven or eternity in hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abed al-Thawr, an official in the Houthi Defence Ministry, said Israel\u2019s claims that it attacked military targets on Sunday are \u201clies\u201d. He said Israel bombed civilian infrastructure<\/a> to make Yemenis suffer.<\/p>\n

Al-Thawr told Al Jazeera that the presidential palace hit on Sunday has long been deserted. \u201cSo, what Israel is doing is barbarism,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Houthi-dominated Government of Change and Reconstruction in Sanaa also called the Israeli attack a \u201cwar crime\u201d that aims to hurt Yemenis and create a \u201cfake victory\u201d by showing columns of smoke above Sanaa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aggression proves that the Israeli enemy, with American support, is waging an open war against the Arab and Muslim nation,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Israel has been bombing Yemeni power plants and ports for a month. But Sunday\u2019s attack came shortly after the Israeli navy<\/a> struck a power station in Sanaa last week.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Houthis said they launched a hypersonic missile and two drones at Israel, vowing to stand with Palestinians \u201cuntil the aggression against Gaza stops and the siege is lifted\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
