Israel Says It Carried Out Strike on Huthi Energy Facility in Yemen

Israeli naval forces targeted the Haziz power station, disabling key generators and causing power outages in Sanaa in response to repeated Houthi missile and drone attacks on Israel.

  • On August 17, 2025, the Israeli navy struck an energy infrastructure site used by Iran-aligned Houthi rebels south of Yemen's capital, Sanaa.
  • The strike followed repeated missile and drone attacks by the Houthis on Israel since October 2023, amid ongoing regional tensions linked to the Gaza war.
  • The attack damaged some generators at the Haziz power plant causing a fire that emergency teams contained, while Israeli military stated the action was a direct response to Houthi assaults.
  • Israel successfully neutralized a missile launched from Yemen, which the Houthis acknowledged firing, while Prime Minister Netanyahu stressed the country's readiness to defend itself independently if needed.
  • The strike intensifies the regional conflict, highlighting continuing hostilities despite a May 2024 US-Houthi truce that excluded Israeli operations, and raises concerns about potential impacts on Yemen's infrastructure.
