On March 28, 2025, the Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, reported that U.S. forces carried out four airstrikes targeting the Jadr area in the Bani Harith district, located north of the Yemeni capital, Sana'a. According to Houthi-affiliated media, one individual was killed and four others sustained injuries as a result of the strikes on the al-Qabel village in the same district.

This incident marks a continuation of intensified U.S. military operations against Houthi-controlled regions in Yemen, which have escalated significantly in recent days.

The frequency and scale of these airstrikes reportedly have resulted in both civilian casualties and damage to local infrastructure.

Additionally, the Houthis announced earlier the same day their successful targeting of Ben Gurion Airport in Israel with a ballistic missile, framed as an act of solidarity with the Palestinian populace.

Israeli defense forces claimed to have intercepted the missile before it could enter Israeli airspace, an assertion made subsequent to the activation of air raid sirens in the Greater Jerusalem area and Tel Aviv.

The uptick in hostilities comes in the context of statements made by former U.S. President Donald Trump, who on March 15 announced a significant military offensive against the Houthi group, threatening to dismantle their operations thoroughly.

The Houthis responded to these threats, asserting their resolve to continue their support for Gaza, coinciding with renewed military actions within Gaza by Israel that began on March 18. This broader conflict illustrates the complex interplay of regional tensions and military responses, raising concerns over humanitarian impacts amidst ongoing violence in Yemen.
